I'm right handed and always have the guitar on my left leg. It always felt better to me and the guitar is across my body, much the same position as when I'm standing.

Good reminder. I would not cross my legs however as that is bad for circulation and hard on the back. I also use a strap even when sitting. What I need to remember is to keep the neck high - and this video was perfect timing for me!

Where you been all my guitar life?

Great advice Max. Never really gave it a great deal of thought til your video but first honest try at it helped a lot. I also noticed in the seated position, neck up, relaxed shoulder I could glance down and see the fretboard better which cleaned up some of my accuracy issues too. Thank you.

Thank you! 😃

I am very new to guitar playing, and I am learning by following videos like this one. I noticed that when I use the guitar on what you call the classical way, I am more comfortable. I never had anyone to help with, and I am glad that you mentioned.

I wished I'd had this video 6 years ago when I started guitar. I ended up hurting my wrist and then had to experiment to find a way to keep the wrist straight. I ended up with the guitar on my left leg and the bottom (where the strap button is) still touching the inside of the right leg. Now I'm going to work on my shoulders.

Ive been trying to work on my posture and wrist position for a while now, but bad habits are hard to break unfortunately. Im also double jointed so I was used to getting away with rhe straight fingers and still able to function decently, As I've gotten older though, playing with my wrist bent is taking a toll on my wrist tendons, so I really need to break the habit. Appreciate the video, i had no idea there were any accessories to help raise rhe guitar in that way, ill have to check those out

I’m glad you’re making the change…it’ll benefit you tremendously. Not just physically but I think you’ll find your tone and playing improve a lot overall. Thanks for watching!

im so confuse beacuse many teachers or even famous guitarist recommend to bend the wrist for better playing - of course not extreme bend but bend almost 90 degrees . why why so confuse

Anyone who recommends doing that is very wrong and should be completely ignored. It’s anatomically very bad for technique.

@@MaxRichMusic understand- in my case i bend a little in a natural way when doing barre chords or reaching notes on the 6 or 5 string- its physically imposible to me not to do it

It's probably not impossible...it depends on how you sit/hold the guitar. But a little bend isn't the end of the world. The straighter wrist the better though.
