Help me think this through, friends…J45 dilemma

[fortyearspickn]

Yep,  trying to play with your left wrist at a 90 degree angle is unnecessarily difficult.  I don't recall it ever being dissed/discussed on page one of "How To Play The Guitar".   I usually play seated,  using  straps set though  to hold guitar high, though not as high as Sean.  I have a footrest I use most of the time to bring the guitar up around 4 " so the straps are comfortably loose, just help keeping me from dropping the guitar.    Also have a kidney/cashew shaped foam pillow  that will do the same thing.   You put it on your right thigh; guitar sits on it, nestled into the waist of the guitar.  I never use it though. Maybe I should dig it out and give it another shot. Definitely high on the dorky scale though.
