Hi Aron,

This is quite a difficult one for me to answer as I can't see how you are presently holding the guitar, obviously.

I had similar problems at the beginning and was getting quite frustrated with it.

Eventually I decided just to go back to the beginning where Lisa shows you how to hold the guitar. With that as a starting point I did a trial and error thing. With strap,without strap, standing, sitting,etc.

What I wanted was for the head of the guitar to be about shoulder height. The neck is then in a good position and the fretting arm and hand are in a relatively straight line and nice and relaxed.

I ended up using a strap whilst sitting with the guitar fairly high high up and the guitar body just lightly touching my thighs. I was able to use this guitar position whilst standing also.

Maybe you could use a similar approach in addressing your probem.

Everybody has a different build and what works well for one might not work for someone else.

If you start by getting the guitar head at the right height and take it from there I hope you will see some improvement in your situation.

Take your time and dedicate a good period in getting it comfortable for yourself.

I hope I may have been some help and given you some pointers towards sorting it out.

Kind regards

Joe
