"Gruff Rhys (pronounced 'Griff Rhiis')"

and how exactly is THAT pronounced? Voretus the Benevolent 16:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Precisely. I do wish people would just get get used to the IPA and start using it. Well, I've made the change. I'm assuming, incidentally, that he pronounces his name [r̥iːs] and not [r̥ɨːs] as in the north. garik 18:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Not that I understand IPA lettering, but I'm sure that Gruff Rhys pronounces his name in the northern method, being brought up there despite being born in Hwylffordd. As a southerner with Rhys as a middle name, I pronounce it differently. GarethRhys 20:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unique?

"Rhys plays the guitar in a unique style. He is left handed and learnt to play on his brothers right handed guitar. Rather than invert the nut and re-string it he taught himself to play a right handed guitar upside down so the bass strings are on the bottom."

Is this unique? I can't actually remember any names, but I'm sure I've heard of other left-handed guitar gods playing right-handed. Lfh (talk) 13:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
