Getting Into Position - Guitar Guide

Sitting Positions
There are two sitting positions for holding the guitar - the classical and casual positions.

1. Pick up the guitar and make sure that the guitar body is supported by your leg.
2. Position yourself on the front half of your chair.
3. Ensure that your back isn’t arched, ensure that it is straight but not so that it is tight.
4. Lean the guitar back towards you slightly.


Standing Position
1. Pick up the guitar and place the strap over your shoulder. Adjust the strap so
that the guitar is positioned mid-body.
2. Use your fingering hand to support the neck of the guitar.
3. Rest your strumming hand over the bridge of the guitar.
