Strap Height = Important ! Options

[Ben Higgins]

I just adjusted my strap height so that my guitar is sitting a little higher and it's made a massive improvement to my playing. Why ? Well, because it makes it easier to hold my picking hand at the angle that suits it best. Rather than resting over the strings from above it's more to the side which is much better for me. Also I noticed my shoulder is lower and at a more natural position so there's less tension.

Sometimes the needed adjustments are not in the way you hold the pick or the type of pick etc, but in the angle that your arm and hand approach the guitar and that's where strap height is important. We're all different so some of us need it low and some need it higher. There's no right or wrong way but there will be a way that is right for you

Any of you guys chance upon some dramatic improvements when you adjusted your strap height ?
