“I bought a right-handed Hofner, re-strung it and learned to play like a lefty, which was a nightmare”: How The Bootleg Beatles’ Steve White became a carbon-copy Paul McCartney

Steve White of The Bootleg Beatles performs on stage as Paul McCartney at British Summer Time Festival at Hyde Park on July 13, 2014 in London, United Kingdom. .
