Technique
[edit]I have removed this section, as it is uncited, and - I believe - incorrect. The section says that Wallinger is right-handed, but plays a left-handed guitar upside down. I believe - from observation - that the reverse is true, he is left-handed, and plays a right-handed guitar upside down. Aside from this being observed from video evidence, it is more common for a left-hander to play this way than a right-hander (as right-handed guitars are ubiquitous). However, I think this probably constitutes "original research", and as I cannot find a cite to back either assertion, I have simply removed the section. I think it better not to have anything here, than to have something possibly erroneous. ChrisMalme (talk) 12:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think you are correct, based upon my attendance at a World Party gig recently. As you point out above : 'better not to have anything here, than to have something possibly erroneous'. Gwladys24 (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I added a citation to a 2015 interview, stating that he is right handed, but plays a right handed guitar upside-down. He's self taught and just learned "wrong". wren337 (talk) 21:07, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
