Playing a Flying V - Guitar Tricks Forum

i have and play constantly a Jackson Rhoads V. i usually stand up to play it but i do sit down a lot. you will have to sit on the egde of something. what you do is take the vertex of the v and place it on the inner part of your right thigh. it is important to have the strap on because the strap will hold up the neck so you rother hand won't have to and will allow it to move freely. oh and when you do this, make sure you sit up straight, don't slouch.

To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
