haha, i often hold mine completely vertical, perpindicular to the Mother Earf

yea, I do the same as gabe. the vertical thing too.

I don't know how he did it. His proportions must be off.

I do this thing where my dong kinda interacts with the lower horn.
Feels good man.

Same relative height as when I'm sitting. So the strap is on whether I'm sitting or standing, and the guitar is at the same height in both cases.

Looks like I wear it here...

I used to where it higher, but this works for me now.

i rock a low side sling

I have my guitar straps as short as they go so its fairly high, but having said that I'm only 5 8'

I like it very high.. Around the nips..

and Im quite tall, so it looks funny, that I like.
(im 2meters long, dont know in feets/steps/inches)

i went thru the whole low phase in the mid 90's, then i went thru the whole mega high phase in the early 00's. now i just play it in the middle somewhere

This is absolutely exactly what I do. When I was much younger -- before I figured this method out -- I always wondered why I could play so much easier while sitting down. Now, if I happen to get a new strap, I just sit down with the guitar, adjust the strap, and stand up. If the guitar moves downward on me, I tighten the strap up a bit and sit down/stand up again.

I've found this to be the most comfortable position, by far.

Dont call it buckle rash for nothing,

middle of the back sitting around your junk

starting to get a little lower with my new(er) guitar. not sure why, it's just more comfy than any other guitar i've had

Normally a comfortable waist height (the next pickup being about where my belt buckle is) but recently I’ve been playing more technical, single-note, stuff and using my girlfriend’s old Yamaha strat, which I find myself playing much higher.

It’s nice. You get to attack the strings for a different angle.

i kinda rest mine lower and toward my right thigh like the canucks.

I sling really low. Almost as low as the strap will go but a little higher. Personally I like the feel and would rather look like Krist Novoselic than Paul McCartney (both great bassists) when I play. I play guitar slightly higher than bass, but I also usually use a duct tape strap so I can't really change the length.

Man, now I will have Anti Flag in my head for at least the rest of the day.



I play probably just a little lower than McCartney height but not by a whole lot. It depends on the guitar though. I like being able to reach as much as I can. Not that I am really a proficient guitarist by any means.
