Tips for playing and standing

[Matt Wildman]

So tonight I decided to jam when I was home alone and I figured I would play standing and my god I suck when I play standing. My first 2 gigs I was sitting and I realize I need to practice standing. I can play rhythm perfectly fine it’s just my lead that sucks. I have it hanging below my belt so it’s not super low or super high. Idk how Syn plays the way he does with his guitar that low. I would like to keep it lower cause I hate to say it but it does make you look cooler when you play it lower. Do I need to just practice more?

Practice standing up. Always. I learned that decades ago, and it’s an important lesson for any rock guitarist who wants to ever gig, or even jam with a band. You WILL get used to it!
