How to Hold Your Guitar

Sitting

Sitting while playing is a comfortable way to practice your guitar. Below are a few different ways to hold your guitar in the sitting position. Remember that it is personal preference on how you want to sit and you should do what makes you the most comfortable.

Standing

Standing can also be a great way to practice. The most important thing to remember when standing is that the lower the guitar sits on your body, the harder it is to play. The higher up your guitar is the less your left hand has to bend. Find a spot that is comfortable for you and go with it.
