One trick is to put the guitar on your hip, not directly in front of you. If you rest the guitar on your tummy, it's gonna tilt up which will cause your wrist to bend. This is why you are losing reach. Try to keep the wrist as straight as possible. The wrist must bend at times, but it should not be excessive.

And speaking of big guitar players, it would be difficult to beat Leslie West of Mountain in their early days. He was huge, but man could he play guitar. Check out this video from '71.

I definitely understand wanting to look cool..Ha..and I agree having your guitar jacked up to your chin does not scream rock guitar, but you can start out with the guitar adjusted high and then as you get more comfortable start loosening up on the strap and slowly lowering the height of the guitar.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255380 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255375 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 23:27:04 +0000
i am after function over cool, but dont want to look out of place as my eventual goal is a band of some sort..

ive adjusted the strap a little, and its a little easier to play, even if i look a bit pony lol]]> Guitar Players Discussion MikeHull https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255375 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255373 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 22:49:12 +0000
This band is called the Poverty Plainsmen.
The singer/guitar player at center stage is Mark Smith.
I've known these guys for about 15 years, and can attest that Mark has no problem making good music come out of his guitar.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255373 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tested-out-playing-standing-up/#post-255371 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 22:31:51 +0000
