Re: Problems when playing standing up. (3 replies, posted in Guitar Techniques)
Most first class guitarists have the guitar supported by the strap whether they are standing or sitting. This means that even when sitting the guitar should be slightly above your thigh.
If this feels wrong then you probably have some changes to make to your technique.
Find an excellent tutor who really know about technique.
