How to Hold A Guitar
When people learn to play the guitar, many people make the same mistakes. Sometimes giving up the guitar all together because the thinks it’s too hard.
First, look at the following picture and avoid common mistakes. You’re playing experience will be for more enjoyable.
1. Your back should be straight and your arm should not be so close to the body of the guitar. Managing her pick was more difficult this way.
2. The neck of the guitar should be parallel to the floor not pointing up or down. Notice her thumb? It’s causing her fingers to touch strings which where not meant to be touched. The thumb should be pressing behind the neck of the guitar.
3. The feet should be flat on the floor with the dip of the guitar resting on your lap.
All that’s missing is how to hold your pick correctly, we’re almost there.
