Playing Standing Up

[Anonymous]

Why would you need a clip-lock and straplocks?

 

[progmetaldan]

The clip lock to have the strap really high but still be able to take it off and on, and the strap-locks to make sure the strap stays attached to the endpins...

I dont have any locks and mine never falls off.

NB: Don't lowride with your guitar. Its for retarded power chord noobs only.

modern straplocks have a pushbutton so that you can take them off easily. easier than regular straps even.

How dare you even suggest that I would do such a thing... Such talk is blasphemy...

 

[Earth Breather]

Seriously. Just look at Petrucci.

 

[progmetaldan]

Petrucci is the benchmark for the positioning of the guitar on the body...

I played a show last night with my band. The thing is, I have played sitting down for the longest time (in the classical position) and I never had any problem getting good access to the high frets. Except when I play standing up, I always have to move my body awkwardly to find a good position and I have yet to find a good one. The one I have found that works only decent for me is putting my left leg on something. Does anyone else know a better position?

put your left leg on something, dont bother finding a position, if its good enough for petrucci, its good enough for you

 

[progmetaldan]

^ Well said!

 

[Kenneth R.]

put your leg on the bassist's back.

 

[progmetaldan]

^ You could when the bass player is bowing down before you due to your extreme shredding talent...

 

[Anonymous]

Kenneth? Shredding talent?

 

[progmetaldan]

Not Kenneth specifically, I was speculating generally... (By "your" I really meant "my")...

 

[Kenneth R.]

Kenneth? Shredding talent?

you dare question my cheese-grating talent?

[progmetaldan]

He dared Kenneth, how are you going to teach him otherwise???
