Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.

The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Sorry to be back here .. but is it better to learn guitar like this? .. than the classical one! .. I've never played like this before and felt a bit strange but much less tension in my picking hand! ...is that possible ?...along this way .. again very grateful for your advice!

Hi mate! There is not a better way, both ways are very used and showed excellent results. I personally prefer this position.

First Problem I see is that you are leaving some fingers planted which is creating way to much resonance on certain notes. Go back and watch the video again and notice how he lifts after almost every note. Doing so prevents string noise. Give this one more go after studying the video again. I don't think this is ready for a grade yet.

There is no hard rule on this, but even though I went to music school, I've never felt comfortable with reference classical player sitting position. I understand reasons behind it...but as you've already noticed, this "popular" way of holding guitar feels more...natural. I guess the main difference would be felt if you would be playing ultra wide, advanced arpeggios on all 6 strings, at very high frets. Classical guitar construction doesn't allow easy access to high frets. But...here we speak of electric. You need to decide on your own but you cna decide just on how you feel physically.

As mentioned, which one of these two popular postures you choose this is a matter of personal preference.

I would say this though - if you are considering making a switch - it is probably a good idea to first establish what kind of problem you are hoping to solve. Otherwise spending time on re-learning might not be wise.

It is certainly possible you will sense a difference when picking - as your right arm posture will be very different depending on which one you go for.

Btw I think this is a great discussion topics for the open boards, feel free to create a topic about it here.
