Rotate your right hand at the wrist so that the fingers fall perpendicular to the strings and your thumb stays about 1 1/2 inches to the left (from your vantage point) of your index finger. Rest your right-hand thumb and fingers (index, middle, and ring) on the 6th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings, respectively.
Where should a right handed guitar be placed?
1) The area where the strings meet the guitar on the right side is called the bridge. Place your palm against the bridge with your thumb making slight contact or just shy of touching the strings at a 45 degree angle as you play down and up strokes on the first “E” string.
How should you sit when playing classical guitar?
Classical guitarists play while seated. Sit relatively forward in the chair and place your left foot on the footstool (this is to help keep the guitar in the proper position). Sit with your right knee in an open stance, or lift up the heel of your right foot in line with the right side of the chair.
