Have you considered playing sitting down?In recent years, I've been playing standing up more
often, but I still go for a stool or chair whenever
I'm doing something particularly
important/challenging.Sitting can free you up in terms of technique and hand
position, and takes the strain off your back, too.If you're looking for tips on seated posture and hand
position, any good Classical guitar method or onlline
teaching site should provide good advice.--- Douglas Anderson <rxdca@usa.net> wrote:
