He mentions that he has small hands, saying even his girlfriend has bigger hands than him. As someone who also doesn't have the biggest of hands or long fingers I checked his youtube videos a little closer to see if I could pick up any handy tips. The most obvious one is how high he wears his guitar when standing up, It does look like I may have to forego the looking cool height for the sounding cool height!

I just prefer the ease of access and playing that way. It doesn't even rest on my legs when I sit down while using the strap.

Once for sitting once for standing. QUOTE (PosterBoy @ Jul 13 2021, 05:57 AM) I was listening to the Everyone Loves Guitar podcast at the weekend and specifically the Martin Miller episode.
