POLL: How Do You Situate Your Guitar When Playing?

[TSJMajesty]

I have tried off to the side, and I just cannot do it. It's uncomfortable, and changes my hand ergonomics in relation to the bridge so much that palm mutes become near impossible. The only reason I even tried it that way is I see so many players doing it, so I wondered if it would help my practice routine.

I’m assuming if by “between my legs,” you are referring to “classical style,” then yes, between my legs.

Yes

This works for me Comfort wise and playability

My typical seated stance:

It feels more like I'm standing up and playing which is more natural to me.

Classical when seated or simply stand, usually a combo of both…

 

[Jarick]

Seated, guitar on my right leg (I'm a righty), with my right heel resting on the chair leg or something to prop it up.

I prefer classical style with the guitar on my left leg and my left foot on a stool.

But lately I’ve been needing to use a page turner pedal more which has required playing off to the side with the guitar on my right leg. That frees up one foot to hit footswitches and the other to hit the page turner

 

[Eagle]

Classical.

 

[James Freeman]

Classical here too.

The one I made an offer on sold the same day it was listed

I use both. Off to the side and classical position.

Although, transitioning from classical position to standing is easier - just stand up . The guitar should be in the same general position.

 

[Whizzinby]

Side for electric, classical for acoustic.

 

[spawnofthesith]

I usually only play standing, but if I am sitting down I have my guitar on my left leg to get it closest to where it would be if I was standing. I don't know if thats really off to the side of in the middle though

[laxu]

If seated, more likely to have guitar between my legs.

 

[TSJMajesty]

in the middle though

Yeah, that's what I mean by 'between your legs.'
