daveinspain Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Anyone here wear their guitar real low? I would think it much more difficult to play that way.... Where do you hang yours?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I wear Nighthawk at my Belt Buckle, my Strat a couple inches higher. I guess that's low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's weird.. I wear my guitar lower now then when I was rockin out in the 70's and 80's[confused] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just below the nerd level. I can't play low at all. Actually, I can barely even play at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Right around the belt level I guess, but here is my question: what is the belt level? Is it where the top of the guitar is at the belt, the middle, the bottom? What? I have the middle-top at the belt level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Right about here for the semi, just a skosh lower for the solid bodies. Easy on the wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myspace.com/jessenoah Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 as low as my strap will let me <------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 and it is easier for me to play, my right hand is stronger and more independant because it doesent have a crutch to rest on anything, I find it easy to just wear the guitar where my arm hangs down @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitargreg1993 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 i wear mine just below the belt.... it seems to fit perfect for me right there, i have easy fret access and my arms/hands arent in an akward position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Belt Buckle in the middle of the guitar back, that way I can do as much damage as possible if I forget to turn the buckle after a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm usually a little lower, but this is my buddies guitar and I just used it where it was set. It's wierd, but when I used my SG I usually like it a lot higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 me at rehersals, i too have mine about belt level...although when i play the rg770 i play a lot of drop d flat rhythm stuff so it feels comfortable no matter how low i hang it, as you know playing in that tuning is easier on the wrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I've heard that your guitar should be at the same level standing up as sitting down, so that's what I try to do. Not as cool, but I find that if I don't, my hand positions change and it makes it harder to mute strings or get to the proper position to grab chords (stubby fingers).

Thundergod Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Right about here for the semi' date=' just a skosh lower for the solid bodies. Easy on the wrists. [img']http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo39/Cruznolfart/IMG_1088.jpg[/img] That's the most confortable way to play. I used to hate it and play just like slash (really low) and then one day an older guy told me to try his guitar, the strap didn't have any lenght changin thingy and so I ended up playing it all high like that. Never looked back. That's the most confortable way of playing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Right around the belt level I guess' date=' but here is my question: [b']what is the belt level? Is it where the top of the guitar is at the belt, the middle, the bottom?[/b] What? I have the middle-top at the belt level Good question. Mine is Center of the back of my Nighthawk, just a couple inches higher for the Strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LerxstLee Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was taught when I sit down to practice, wear my strap and sit straight up. Good posture. While sitting I adjust my strap so it is comfortable. Thus when I stand up, the guitar is in the same position as it was while sitting and practicing, that way the guitar is still in alignment just as it was while I was practicing. /cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I hang it lower than the average, I have neck/back problem so having my arms hanging naturally is a must. My belt buckle barely misses the upper part of my LP and Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
