Yes....when that pic was taken, they had the guitarist front/left on stage......later (and today), the guitarist sits in the back of the band, on the right.

                 True trivia facts....around 2006, I saw Dr. Luke play BANJO in an opening monologue musical number  :-)    Also, when they go to commercial break, the band has a little snatch of music...just a few seconds.......prob around Christmastime 2006 I heard Luke play a note-perfect guitar part of the famous guitar intro on the  '50's Xmas hit "Jingle Bell Rock":   he nailed it!!

I bet Dr Luke nailed that guitar intro!
That must have been fantastic to see Dr Luke on SNL back then.
