How to Hold the Electric Guitar
As with the acoustic guitar, holding your electric guitar properly is vital to establishing proper angles for your body, arms, and hands. Electric guitar bodies, being usually only a couple of inches thick, do best when used with a strap. The strap provides you with more support and control over how the guitar relates to your body. Adjust your guitar strap so it is the perfect fit for you.
