Hey guys, well I've been practicing standing up recently, and I have to say, it's a lot more fun than practicing sitting down and hurting my back(I tend to hunch when sitting).

One problem has popped up though, my strap broke! ohmy.gif Almost killed my guitar.

So now I need a new one, and I have no idea what to look for, all I know is that I need a strap that won't slide around on my shoulder, it needs to help hold my guitar in place when I play, if that makes sense.

Are there any good brands in particular I should be looking at?

Thanks

Lots of people already said that but I will reinforce.

A good leather strap. It is a very good insurance against guitar falls. If you invest on a good guitar, this is a must! wink.gif
