Geometry of the Sitting Position | Guitar Workshop (Ep 5)

In this 5th episode of our workshop series, we take a deep dive into positioning the guitar, sitting position, and posture - not through a list of generic rules, but by exploring it systematically, examining all possible rotations, and their impact on your left and right hand. You’ll be able to walk away with a system that you can use to address any issues in your playing and establish a solid foundation for an efficient technique.
