Rain Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I've tried letting it hang low like the cool kids but that doesn't work for me. I do seem to like the Les Paul a little bit lower. But these two pics taken + 20 years apart with the same guitar show that, overall, try as I might, I always revert to the same strap length. Edited January 25, 2023 by Rain 4

Guest Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Having been schooled in the dark art of classical guitar (so many years ago I can barely remember), I still struggle to play anything without a footstool. ? For anyone in any doubt, this is neither a 'cool' nor a 'down with the kids' look.
Notes_Norton Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Wherever is most comfortable for me. When in beginning band, the teacher told us that we can play our best when the instrument moves to fit our bodies, and is easiest to play. 4
Jesse Screed Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 @Byron Dickens Of course! The King, BB King. We should also remember @Notes_Norton it's not just guitars is it. 2
Notes_Norton Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 She is a beautiful bassist and does fine guitar work as well.

InstrEd Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Should we start a fund so he can buy some cheeseburgers ? 1
kennywtelejazz Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I wear mine high up when I play standing . Currently I'm doing 99% of my home practice / playing sitting . The last thing I want to do is trip over a 98 pound Pit Bull mix while I'm getting my groove on ... Milo likes to block my path at home with the hopes of getting pet or dare I mention treats ...?
