Check out this Botswanan guitarist identified only as “Ronnie.” He’s playing a crappy, beat-up guitar with two missing strings, yet produces funky, original, and joyful music using a bizarre overhand technique. Awesome. —Rob Hutten, GP reader for 22 years.

I love this. I get so caught up in trying to make sure I have the ultimate guitar rig, and here's Ronnie making better music than 90 percent of us, and he's basically doing it with his imagination! Way to go, Ronnie! Please cut a CD.

Pretty cool. It looks to me that Ronnie is a woman and she is doing some great stuff that guitar.

Wow. I've always been a proponent of having the right "thingy" and the right time - so magic would happen. But then you see this and think how very, very lucky we are to have so much. I should give my stuff away, 'cause I surely don't have this kind of talent. I complained I had no shoes, till I met a man who had no feet...brilliant!

Absolutely magic, beauty can be found anywhere, obviously the search for the perfect guitar rig can hide this kind of treasure. Greetings, Ronnie, from Chile!

That girl KNOWS her guitar. Imagine what she could do with all 6 strings. Outstanding.
