Holding your guitar

In general, for both right- and left-handers, the guitar is held in the following manner: left hand on the neck
and right hand on the body. It is possible to hold your guitar left-handedly (right hand on the neck and left
hand on the box), but you will have to change the bridge saddle in order to reverse the strings. In both cases,
hold the instrument by your strumming arm with the back of the guitar against your body.
There are many ways to hold your guitar. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable.
You may, for example, sit down and
