All language subtitles for 007 Playing with Good Posture.en

A playing with good posture is very, very important, and it's not rocket science, but I do see a

lot of people develop bad habits early on and I think they're easy to avoid.

You want to kind of just constantly be monitoring yourself for tension.

Tension is the enemy of nice, good technique on the guitar.

So you want the shoulders to be relaxed, first of all, and you want the neck to be loose and relaxed.

We're going to go through some, you know, stretching techniques next.

But in terms of good posture, it's impossible to play guitar with perfect posture.

I'm certainly not perfect, but we do our best.

And I've I've certainly found that, you know, practicing in front of a mirror and being really conscious

of my posture, my technique and the way I'm holding the instrument is really, really important.

And it's something to certainly be aware of.

So I encourage you to watch yourself playing in the mirror and just check your your body especially

want to watch for the the right hand, the right shoulder blade here raising up to far.

And and you don't want the neck to be kind of twisting and contorting when you play, you want to just

aim for everything to be as loose and natural as possible.

And the stretches I'm going to show you in the next video will really help with that.
