I usually don't hold my guitar vertically like that unless I'm playing a really fast passage during a solo or something. It makes it easier to play just b/c of the position.....put the foot up on a monitor and wail the way Zakk Wylde does....

That's why you see classical players hold their guitars at an angle, it makes it easier to fret the notes/chords...it's more natural.
