Remembering Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (January 5, 1893 – June 29, 1987) She was an influential American folk and blues musician. A self-taught left-handed guitarist, Cotten developed her own original style. She played a guitar strung for a right-handed player, but played it upside down, as she was left-handed. This position meant that she would play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb. Her signature alternating bass style has become known as "Cotten picking".(Wiki) #eliz
