Seeing how later down the road I am going to be playing mostly standing up , I am trying to hold my guitar really comfortable. Basically I am having trouble keeping my wrist straight when holding the guitar and I have the guitar around my torso and a little higher when I am used to and would like to lower .

Basically to avoid having a crooked wrist I find having my palm hold the guitar while fretting . Basically guys I'm at my wits end trying to figure what I am doing wrong .

I have good standing posture and a decent light strap but I think overall my problem is where to position my guitar , keep my wrist straight so I can fret chords/barre chords and notes easily and don't feel any pain .

I was going to post a video but it's too much work to try and position it right for recording . So I'll most likely just take a few images from the front while playing a simple chord as well as take a few images behind the neck that way you can see what my problems are with my guitar posture as well as the way I am holding the guitar .

But any suggestions and examples you can give to help me would be great . Lol I don't wanna be stuck on guitar fundamentals 1 holding the guitar lesson for a whole summer hehe.
