Remember, this diagram applies to both electric and acoustic guitars!
Some key things to note here:
- Whether you're sitting with your legs crossed or uncrossed, ensure your knees are high enough to support the guitar at (or just below) chest height.
- Rest the dip of the guitar (most guitars have a dip for this purpose) on your lap. Rest it on the same side as your strumming hand (e.g. if you strum with your right hand, rest it on your right lap).
- Rest the guitar flat against your chest (although some people prefer to slightly tilt it towards them - emphasis on the word slightly!)
- Don't hunch your back.
- Make sure your elbow points out towards the top corner of your guitar. It should also rest so your forearm and wrist can pivot over the strings.
