I keep my guitar fairly high when I play, someone told me once I was wearing it Beatles style rather than Slash style. Most of the time I use a Les Paul and I have to be able to reach everything. I'm only 5 foot 4 inches tall and if I wore that guitar slash style it would be practically bumping against my ankles!

aha a strap is the shoulderbelt (?)
I had some trouble with that, now I wear it kind of high though, and its almost as comfortable as sitting |

I can't play when my strap is too high. Of course this would make things a bit more comfortable for my left hand, but then I really get into trouble with my right hand, picking (specially our fast stuff) just doesn't feel right anymore, and when it doesn't feel right it mostly doesn't sound right as well ;-), all the chunk and the punch of my picking disappears like that. Of course the strap being too low is also bad, at some point things get bad for my right hand as well and I lose control over my playing, and since we play with In Ear on stage I can't even do the Zakk Wylde trick with the monitor (there are no monitors on stage in BG shows) For me a kinda medium hight is fine, the perfect balance between working and looking cool ;-)
