Do any of you practice standing all the time? I find standing is much more comfortable on my picking arm since it just kinda hangs- no contorting my shoulder to adjust the picking arm like when sitting. I tried playing in the classical sitting position since a lot of people said it mimics standing better, but even then standing is more comfortable I like to practice standing up. I'd say most of my practice time is spent this way, especially since I don't really have a comfortable chair which is just right in terms of support, height etc when playing the guitar. I just made this a habit and it makes sense since when playing live you do need to be standing in most of the cases. Standing position feels more relaxed and natural to me. I do sit down from time to time as you do need to be "ready" to play both sitting down and standing but physique wise with practicing standing up I only see benefits. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I spend ten hours a day on my feet. I bought a guitar stool, it's kinda like a halfway house because you have to wear a strap so you have a straight back and your guitar hangs as it would when standing, or pretty darn close You can play without a strap but you struggle to keep the first in place, well that's what I find anyway.
