Guitar position
How do you hold you guitar when you are playing sit down?
I used to hold the guitar on my right leg. But now i've been playing for a while with the guitar in the middle of my legs. The part where used to be on my right leg is now on my left leg. I pick the notes with my right hand. I hope this gives you a picture of how i hold the guitar.
Is there a right way to hold the guitar while sitting down?

i play with the guitar on my left leg and pick with my right hand because its real comfortable anyway there is no right or wrong way to play your guitar sitting down. You should just play in the position which you feel most comfortable in

Do what ever is comfortable in this situation. It also interly depends on the shape of your guitar.

The shape of my guitar is that typical Ibanez shape. Im thinking in buying a V Jackson. That was when i start playing like that, with the guitar in the midlle of my legs, i guess.

Experiment. Hold the guitar oneway and record your self playing a tuff song, then do the same with all the other diffrent posistions. Also a huge factor is your comfortablity level. The more comfortable you are; the easier it is to play.

I kinda hate playing live, when your standing up playing its alot harder after youve learned the licks sitting down, i dont know. But live shows still kick ass. not that this has anything to do with this thread.

i learn songs sitting, and practice them standing.
so i don't sit often, but i do, and when i do the jackson
is on my right thigh, with the neck extended outward,
instead of to the side, it's easier to pick for some reason.

ive got a jackson warrior, (roughly x shaped if you dont know), and it fits nicely between the legs  leaving the fretboard at about a 45 degree angle. very good to parctise on, though horrible for any fast picking. if i want to speed pick, ill play standing up. the nature of the curves also allow me to rest it on my right leg with the fretboard going almost straight across me. |
