How To Hold A Guitar Properly

Get started in the right way by checking you are holding and strumming the guitar using the right technique.

Key Points

• Sit in an appropriate chair, not slouching on a couch

• Balance the guitar on the thigh at the same side as your dominant hand (right handed? Right knee!)

• Hold the neck between your thumb and forefinger

Remember to track your progress with the Strumming Family Tree, which is in the pdf ebook that accompanies this course.
