[quote=osmanitellez]I am trying to figure out what keeps the guitar still and in place as we change chords, looking into my physicallity and tension.

Use less tension, stay more relaxed. Also, use minimal motion. The wider, bigger, stronger your motions are while changing chords or strumming the more you are likely to move the guitar around too much. Too much motion & tension also hinders your ability to get to the next motion (note, chord, change, strum, etc.) on time.

Hope this helps!

it does help, thanks so much Chris.

yeah..trying to figure out how to keep the guitar anchored down. it becomes more challenging as I am pressing very hard on barred chords to make sure the notes comes out.

I am doing standing up practices to figure this out. will work on our tips.

thanks
