Just another one of those poll-like questions I like asking....

How high do you wear your guitar when playing?

It's sort of hard to gauge this so post a picture if you can.

I personally don't have a picture but I have heard people say that John Petrucci plays pretty high, and I play my even higher than that!

so that When I'm sitting down it doesn't even toch my lap. I've tried going lower but then I find it impossible to play, and frankly... I don't see how its possible to play when the guitar is much lower than the way I have it. I guess I became accustomed to this by playing alot while sitting, and I always foind it a hinderance if it was laying in my map so i raised it...

anyway because of how dorky/unusual I look when playing, it be a long time before I have the confidence to step up on stage laugh.gif

anyway,

your thoughts?
