Positioning is very important!
- Whether you're sitting with your legs crossed or uncrossed, ensure your knees are high enough to support the guitar at (or just below) chest height.
- Rest the dip of the guitar (most guitars have a dip for this purpose) on your lap. Rest it on the same side as your strumming hand (e.g. if you strum with your right hand, rest it on your right lap).
- Rest the guitar flat against your chest (although some people prefer to slightly tilt it towards them - emphasis on the word slightly!)
- Don't hunch your back.
- Make sure your elbow points out towards the top corner of your guitar. It should also rest so your forearm and wrist can pivot over the strings while at the same time supporting the body of the guitar against your body
- The arm of your fret hand (the hand that presses the strings) should be at no more than a 90 degree right angle. The more acute the angle, the less strain is put on your wrist to reach around the fretboard.
