Hi Ann,

I’ll give you a ring (or perhaps meet up) rather than try to write down the details here. In the meantime, a basic guide for the right-handed person would be:

1. sit towards the front of the chair
2. left foot on the footstool
3. right foot on the floor
4. both heels down
5. right arm draped over the highest point of the curve of the guitar’s body
6. limbs relaxed at all times - remember, the power is in the technique - not the person.
7. allow the right hand to hang in front of the strings
8. as for the left, simply bend the elbow and allow the fingertips to approach the strings. The thumb (positioned vertically) opposes lightly from behind
(like a treacherous back-bencher).

That’ll be 15 guineas please!

Alan

Hi Alan

At last I have begun to learn the guitar. I seem to be progressing but I am unsure about my sitting postition, posture and the correct hold for the instrument. Can you give me some advice. Hope all is well with you. The mad season approaches.

Thanks

Anne
