Thanks again.

P.S. Thanks Denny. Yes I was holding it a little flat. Have now tilted her up a little. It all helps.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Combs https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-303720 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-303148 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:00:12 +0000

That allows you to use a standard guitar strap, which may or may not improve your problem.

Take a look at you thumb position though, peaking over is good, wrapped over not so good.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-303116 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-303114 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:20:01 +0000 Quick Release link.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-303114 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-32874 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:00:36 +0000
I have an Art and Lutherie accoustic cutaway and have been using it sitting down. I found I was crouching over it and didn't have much mobility. So I just brought a shoulder strap. This is one of the shoelace type so I have tied it around the nut. It is taking a lot of getting used to, as my thumb keeps hitting the lace. My electric does not have this issue, as the strap is attached to the body at both ends.

I could get a body attachment drilled, but I don't think the balance would be right (and I don't like the idea of having holes drilled in my baby).

Is this something you just get used to or is there some secret I am not aware of?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Combs https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/accoustic-shoulder-strap-and-thumb/#post-32874
