This is a very important aspect of guitar... it took me years before I was happy with my guitar position.. I wear mine about the same height as Chris I'd say.

I wanna emulate this guy:
He plays so effortlessly even the guitar that low, and some very technical stuff or check Paul Gilbert! it's insane how low his guitar is, but he pulls it off, so I guess it's a matter of getting used to it -------------------- Visit my:

Indeed! But note the fact that Paul's arms have the lenght of an ourangutan true, and the hands as well. But I definitely think you can get used to any position of course you can do the John Petrucci leg stand, or the Slash's guitar cuddle -------------------- Visit my:

Yeah, this a very good topic. When I'm standing, I must bring the guitar up a little more than desired. I have to have it like I practiced.

I allways practiced sitting down for a long time...when i started playin standing up it was like i couldn't play anything.
This position advice is very wise... |

Since I'm practicing in standing position for years now, it's not that hard to play anything when standing, as long as the strap is normally adjusted. I wouldn't go into extremes of lowering the guitar a lot, cause sometimes there are no monitors to place the leg on, and the soloing ability is lower (although proper notes get punched in)
