Why do classical guitarists use a footstool?
Since a footstool is designed to help improve your posture and keep you more upright, you are less likely to hunch over or contort yourself, which can lead to back, shoulder, and neck pain. With proper wrist positioning, you will be able to maintain the natural arch of your wrist.
Can you solo on a classical guitar?
04. Because while you can play solo, you can still play with others. No, classical guitarists aren't loners; we're just comfortably independent. A lot of times you'll see us playing alone, but we can still play well with other people.
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.
