Tips

  • Clean suction cups with dish soap and dry thoroughly for optimal stickiness.
  • Use vinyl cling wrap on the guitar back for improved suction cup adhesion on porous finishes.
  • Mark the desired placement of the support on vinyl cling wrap attached to the guitar for consistent positioning.
  • Use additional shelving cloth on your opposite leg to further secure the guitar's position for extra stability.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Incorrect Strap Adjustment

Reason: The guitar strap is too loose or too tight, leading to discomfort and instability.
Solution: Adjust the strap length until the guitar rests comfortably at your desired playing position, allowing for free movement.

2. Poor Posture and Body Positioning

Reason: Slouching or leaning too heavily on the support can cause strain and hinder playing technique.
Solution: Maintain good posture with your shoulders relaxed and back straight, using the support for added balance, not to support your entire body weight.

3. Ignoring the Guitar's Weight Distribution

Reason: Not distributing the guitar's weight evenly between the support and your body can lead to discomfort and imbalance.
Solution: Ensure the guitar is properly balanced on the support and against your body, adjusting the support's position as needed.
