Guitar Position
Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 8:58 am
I would still like to see a segment on proper guitar position, for beginners.
While it may seem superficial, a video on how to find the optimal position to hold the guitar ( for seated playing ) for our specific bodies (we all have different arm and finger lengths), would help immensely -- angle of fretboard to the floor, angle away from body, optimum angle of fretting forearm, placement of picking arm on top of guitar (forearm vs bicep), height of one foot versus the other (use of guitar foot stool), etc. I could easily see a few vids on this topic. As a beginner, I have heard that just a slight adjustment in positioning can help immensely.
Here's a chance to set Totally Guitars apart from the competition; most other instructional sites just glance over this topic.
Thanks.
