excuse me if this question has been asked before. Anyways i know how to hold the guitar because it explains to me how in my guitar manual; but one thing i really question is do you look down at the fingerboard while practicing and exactly how? I’ve seen guitar players tilt their neck slightly; isn’t this a strain on the spine?
hold the guitar so it is parallel to the walls, but tilted slightly so you can at least see the inlays on the side of the neck (if there is any). you dont always need to see the face of the neck. just make sure the guitar isnt laying down on your lap because you really cant curl your hand around the neck enough to play it. just do what feels natural when the guitar rests on your legs. by the way, dont worry about getting a strain… just look down at the guitar without leaning over to much
