Technique-wise, his upside-down stringing makes it tricky to follow what he's doing, but I do think it actually brings a lot of benefits. Particularly to his left (picking) hand, because the pick is used for the treble strings and the fingers pluck the bass. Because it's a lot easier to play lead with a pick, that's actually the right way round instead of the far more tricky conventional method of using the pick on the bass strings and fingerpicking the treble. That tends to lend itself to rhythmic styles, but having the strings upside down means it's a lot easier to play a conventional solo with a pick and accompany oneself on the bass.
Have any right-handed players had cause to play a left-handed guitar upside down? It probably isn't that difficult, you just have to think mirror image. Certainly a lot easier than trying to play with the "wrong" hands.
Some of his patter between songs went on a bit too long and you can tell he's a little emotionally fragile from his previous addictions but it's great to see him healthy, sober and playing so well.
And 'Swamp' is one of the best tunes you'll ever hear!
