Elevate the left leg about 6-7 inches from the ground by resting the left foot on a classical guitar footstool or any other similar object. Lower the right leg to make room for the lower bout of the guitar. Rest the right forearm on the lower bout of the guitar in a position which will allow the right hand to lie comfortably just between the bridge and the pickup. Bend the left elbow to bring the left hand fingers to the neck.
Many players prefer using an electric guitar strap as a substitute for the above sitting position.
See the Products page for more information on guitar straps. A fingerboard diagram is a simple grid which represents a portion of the guitar fingerboard. In fingerboard diagrams, the vertical lines represent the strings of the guitar. The horizontal lines represent the frets. The uppermost horizontal line is the nut.
