Hey everyone!
I was just wondering about something while sitting down today to play. We all know that sitting down to play is easier than standing for a number of reasons, but when practicing the main reason I would think is so that you don't get tired as quick (from standing).
A habit I have been in for as long as I have played is to sit in a chair that's low to the ground, with no arms of course, and have one foot propped up on another surface (like the leg of the chair). I tend to hunch over the guitar, with my head down, leaning forward as it is the most comfortable position.
BUT
Has anyone here done any research, or have any articles of any sort, that may show the effects of this slouching on say the spine? I can't imagine sitting for a few hours a day, every week, for years is good? As I am young now I don't know how what I do now might effect my health in a bad way when I'm older.
Anything?
