I sometimes play it like it's a cello, or even like a double bass.
I do the fake cello thing on stage sometimes. I'll do it while playing something like Metallica's Unforgiven - I'll sit there with it held between my legs like it's a cello and act like I'm some sort of grand composer playing an exciting piece.
Yes, yes I can do all sorts of parlor tricks with my guitar. I can play behind my back, play with my teeth and tongue, etc...
How do you play with your teeth? My teeth don't stick out, I could never no way like plug the G string with my teeth
Pull your lips back and be precise. My teeth match exactly, so I can bite and pull one string at a time.
I don't do it as a general rule - my teeth are perfect and I'd like to keep them that way.
I have tried many times throughout the years. you know since seeing Jimi Hendrix playing Hey Joe in that video and I just cant do it with my teeth. I can stick my tongue out and pluck a bit but it's not like I've practiced that.
