Ricardo -> RE: How to sit while playing guitar... (Aug. 5 2007 20:21:51)

My advice is to sit back, sit forward, cross right leg, feet flat-guitar up, guitar down cross the other leg, use footstool, take foot off footstool,etc etc, all in the course of a practice session or performance. In other words move around. Not matter what you might think is the "best" postion, sitting in ONLY one position for any length of time is not good. Keep the blood moving, move around a little bit, any time you tense up or feel something, switch your postition immedialtely. The problem is when you are tense and you are concentrated, you forget about your body, back, head, neck, etc. Make an effort to move a little to the music, tap your foot, tap your other foot, wiggle you toes, etc. Notice Vicente or Paco tilt the head way back looking up at the ceiling...it feels really good on your back and neck to do that.
