POLL: How Do You Situate Your Guitar When Playing?

[spawnofthesith]

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

So off to the side would be body resting on right leg?


When I was a teenager I used to practice like this, but then I quickly realized that the guitar felt like a foreign object transitioning from this to standing so I moved it over

Yes, assuming you're not a lefty.

Why do all but two of us you guys (so far) own any guitar straps? Asking for a friend.

I actually use my strap when seated. Helps keep the guitar where I want it, since I don't really let rest on my legs, but angled out a bit. Most all the weight is on the strap.

Same. I wear my guitar high up in the “doesn’t look cool” zone when standing for maximum playability, so when I’m seated, the guitar is actually supported by the strap, not my leg or beer gut.

Mine's up so that my wrist to my elbow is level. That's high enough that I can play without having ergonomics mess me up. If it's too high to look Jimmy Page cool, oh well. He's sloppy.
