Lesson learned, always play standing on a soft carpet.
Get a broad lether strap. It also helps balancing the weight since it doesn't slide. -------------------- My bands homepage

I hear you man, the original strap that came with my stratocaster was "made in china" . During a pause on one TV show the strap brake on the leather part that holds to the lock, and I even had strap lock on!
I now use a decent quality strap that is better than that (prooved to last till now ). And planning to buy a leather Fender strat and reinforce it when I get the money -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Juan.. we need a lession on how to do that move that was really awsome! For my strap i use a Levi's Jimi Hendrix Strap. Not only do the colours match my baby perfectly its a really sturdy peice of material. I don't see it breaking anytime in the near future.. personally i hate leather straps, the leather always ends up getting cracked and they just don't feel comfortable in my opinion. Actually the most comfortable strap ive ever warn was a Chain Mail strap that my friend made for himself. -------------------- Schecter Exotic Star+ Peavey VK
