Might be considered a part of the "gear" since we all spend quite a lot of time sitting on it. Yet, its never discussed.
Depending on how comfortable or uncomfortable it is, it can really make or break your back and posture in the long run. I use a regular computer chair. But planning to get a better one. What do you use? Any recommendations? Pictures? What's the most comfortable chair/stool that you've used for extended timeframes? -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

I've never thought in the chair but I know that it's important... I remember that when I was a beginner I used to play more than 6 hours sitting on my bed...

Same here, I really liked playing sitting on my bed. Nowadays I sit on my regular computer chair with my right foot standing on a paper package

Yes, bed worked best for me in terms of practice, it's more comfy..
Regarding chair, I spend a lot of time in the chair as well, and not really an expert in chairs, but a better one is definitely needed. My back can hurt from time to time if I don't sit straight and all.. Doing some research on the ergonomics of chairs, and trying out several of them would be a good idea. I would advise that some budget is made for this, as chair can last a long time, and it's a long term health investment. One thing about guitar chair: you need to be able to remove the arm rests (or at least the one that is on the side of your picking hand. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I guess the only thing is for it to not have arms and be low enough to be comfy,

I also use a computer chair, without the "arms rest" things. I considered a drummer stool once, but I need to rest my back against a chair to feel comfortable.

hahha .. Love the idea of swissball
 Although, if I roll backwards 'somehow' .. i'd have to save the guitar from taking the hit -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

QUOTE (moleman @ Jul 16 2011, 02:39 AM)  I have been having a lot of success using a swiss ball:  I tried a lot of chairs, but this gives me the best posture, and most arm freedom. Plus when I'm rocking out I can start bouncing and mosh around on my ass Hahahhaha man - now this is a great idea ))I use a computer chair - though I would feel more comfortable getting a armless guitar chair. I also used my amp (as seen in lessons) as a chair though that doesn't give me a comfortable position to play at all Actually - I can feel the pain for days later on hahaha -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
