How low do you wear you're guitar?
I'm interested in knowing this, how low do you wear you guitar when standing? (how long is the strap)
I wear mine about so that the pickups are in beltbuckle hight. Any lower than that and my wrist will hurt after about 5-7 minutes of playing. anyone so necro and grim and wear it as low as zakk or heatfield? :vampire: |
i used to have mine all the way down and "cool" then i realised "hey i cant play!" so i hiked it up so between the PU's is probably at my buckle if not a little higher
|
PUs are at about my belly button.
|
pickups at my dick.
its the most comfortable there. probably cause i wank stood up. i cant play the E,A or D strings above the 12 fret, but if i want to be able to play them i have to look like a penguin with the strings six inches under my chin. the rest of my playing isnt affected |
same as manowar. I sometimes raise it a bit for harder songs
|
I wear mine above my belly button. I find it's the best position. You can roll around and still play accuratly.
|
Yeah, pickups around the belt buckle is decent. Anything lower and it starts getting in to that punk style. Can't have that.
|
Body of the guitar directly over my stomach.

About here. I tend to tilt the neck up when my blood gets tired though.
|
Same as Darko. It seems teh better I got the higher my guitar went. Basicly so it in the same position as when I play sitting down.
|
I wear my strat so that the body is centered around the stomach area. Similar to BLS.
|
Dead, you are correct... Guitar is ideal in same position as when sitting...
about this for me: http://users.skynet.be/fa020387/tor...ence/gig3/l.JPG |
how low do you wear you're guitar
pick ups around belly button height, have guitar titled so not straight.
|
Pickups on my belly button.any lower than that hurts n playing solo's are kinda hard
|
im as cool as Tom De'schlong' so i wear the top of the body of the guitar below my balls because im the ultimate in c00l. :rolleyes:
*thankfully im not* and wear the lowest point of the top of teh body just an inch or two higher than my belly button. :sleeping: |
out of interest how many of you lot play with a classical left hand finger style, ie thumb in the centre of the neck and fingers perpendicular to the strings?
i dont. my left hand is very heavily set into the 60's style hendrix type fingering. i can do either but prefer that way |
i try and get my left hand ;) perpendicular, like when i play power chords but i find myself getting out of that position when i move on the the high strings, i suppose practice, practice and a bit more practice will sort that out. ;) ;)
|
my low e is just at the bottom of my belly button, any lower, all i an play is power chords and tremoloed single notes, but i usually play full chords, so where i keep it is perfect
|
Same as BLS. With the body on my stomach. That way I can go nuts and still play accuratly.
:uzi: :smash: :uzi: |
