Bob Weston: Early '70s guitarist with Fleetwood Mac


Pierre Perrone Monday 09 January 2012


Weston, who was left-handed but played right-handed, attributed his distinctive style to the fact that he played the violin first, switching to the guitar when he was 12.

I an fascinated by this phenominon as I am also left handed but play right handed guitars. Though I don't consider my self in the same league as them, obviously ,so do Hughie Morgan, Noel Gallagher and Steve Cropper (does anyone know whether Peter Green might be left handed ?). In fact ,I cannot understand why a right handed person uses their precision hand -the one used for writing -to do the workman like job of strumming ,rather than the delicate work of fretting the notes!,But that's how it's evolved
RIP Bob
