I got that Rusty Cooley's instructional DVD called BASIC TRAINING 2 days ago and there he explains why holding your guitar on your left leg is better.
That way all you need to do is raise your hands and play - having your guitar on right leg constantly keeps you busy with holding your guitar in the position you want. Stretches and high access also suffer with right leg position as you have to totally deform your body to get up there and hit correct notes - not to talk about some tricky patterns. Sitting naturally and straight doesn't affect your health (which seriously suffer with lots of hours of sitting) so if you sit like you've been hit by a huge hammer with your back deformed all you're gonna get is a pain in the back. Preferences is all cool but there is the CORRECT part and INCORRECT part in it no matter how somebody plays. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Holly,has someone just called me a shredder??
I don't like having guitar on the left leg,seems too official. It's just my personal opinion tho. But be sure not to hurt your back as well!! So if you feel pain with guitar on your left leg,go for the right one and see the results. -------------------- Youtube

IT depends on the constitution of the players body and the shape of the guitar mostly. Players over the years find the way that suits them the best. You must find a way that suits you the best, thats all. I tend to keep my guitar on the right leg, but right leg high up when I practice. It really depends how big the guitar is, and how your own body is constituited in realtionship to the guitar itself.
