I've been playing guitar for some years now... And when I looked at for example : jani liimatainens and michael romeos young guitar vid I realized that they have their guitar on their left lap... I have mine om my right Does it make a difference?

Not really. I've seen classical guitarists play in both ways. Just pick one way and stick to it.

on the left lap you have to lift your left heel a little and it becomes the same position you take when you stand, some people find it comfortable...

Well, sorry man. Jani Liimatainen is one and no more.

I don't have much time playing the guitar but I hope want one day I will have much experience.

Oh did I miss this topic earlier?

Well anyway, I use both ways, but for left hand the left leg position is easier when doing insane stretches, and it also lets my right arm be more relaxed down from the shoulder and elbow in more comfortable angle. Indeed it's more like standing up position for posture and more like having the guitar strap longer when standing, not having the guitar up your chin.

Best way of course is to stand up. You got legs for dancing and jumping, why not have all the fun even when practising? XD

Yeah... though its kinda annoying to stand up all the time

I hear you, I usually play standing but leaning against the wall or my bed, more comfortable

Sorry for change the post.


Hey, Stratoplayer, what happen with the guitar that do you want buy???

Doesn't matter which leg. I sit my guitar on the right. By the way, Romeo totally owns. A true master. I love his playing.
