Guitar on left or right leg?

[Darin]

You pick up a guitar, you sit down, do YOU put the guitar go on your right or left leg?

After watching a bunch of youtubers, I'm surprised how many use their right leg. I play much better when it's on my left, classical style. Puts my hands in a more natural position.

You?

Yeah, I found that the best way is the left leg. It prevents you from having to place your hand at an odd angle when on the high frets. It also allows better circulation.

Left legger here

I've come to realize the great advantages of the left leg but when I'm just "jammin" it's often the right. 50/50 roughly...

I find it extremely uncomfortable to be on my left leg for some reason. Feels completely unnatural. I tried to get used to it for a while since so many people do it, but it just didn't work for me.

Right leg when I want to play as if I would standing up, and left leg sometimes produces better guitar playing for me personally when sitting down, but then a again when I seriously want to learn a new lick or progress on something right leg always...

guess thats why I choose 50/50

Here's one to confuse you. I'm left handed. I play with the guitar on my right leg when sitting down but I play a right handed guitar.

When I sit with a guitar, and the strap goes over my shoulder, the guitar is not even close to my lap. Yep, I like it high.

This is causing me problems at the moment

I find playing easier on the left....but it's not comfortable on my body to sit that way. If i try on my right leg i find i can't play higher up the neck as well and it's uncomfortable having my right arm further round

Nothing is ever straight forward

Andy??? Maybe you're just not a straight,..... forward, kinda guy!? Try crossing your legs at the knee, maybe you'll feel more comfortable with yourself then!

Side-saddle for me .

Yep, four months later and it's still a identity crisis for you!

On my left, with my foot elevated on 'something' enough to have my leg at least level, maybe knee up a bit.

I'm right handed, play on on my left leg...
