How to Hold the Guitar
Look at the following picture and check if you are holding your guitar in the correct position. If you do not have a footstool, some phone books stacked on top of each other will do until you can use a footstool.
This position might be uncomfortable for a little while. While you’re getting used to the position, remember the following things:
- Keep the tuning keys level with your eyes.
- Sit forward on the tip of the chair (use a chair without arm rests).
- Make sure that the bottom indented part of the guitar body rests flat on your left leg.
A music stand is also recommended, but a high table or desk or paper stand can be used as a substitute at first if necessary.
