How To Hold The Guitar - Beginner Guitar Lesson #2

Welcome to the second video from the Beginner Guitar Quick-Start Series. This guitar lesson is for beginners that want to know the correct way to hold the guitar. Nate Savage demonstrates three popular methods and provides some practical tips along the way.

In this video, you will learn the casual method, the classical method, and how to use a guitar standing up with a strap. As with many aspects of playing the guitar - it's always important to learn how to do things correctly from the start, so you don't have to change habits in the future. That is a common theme in guitar lessons for beginners.

Your "stool" work is a riot! Every time you position the stool, it makes your feet level... like you're on a floor. It's hysterical.

OK if I'm laying down playing how would I hold the guitar

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, I'm only 15 and have always wanted to learn guitar ever since I saw my dad play in the church band at a young age but just never did it. So just recently I thought why not teach myself how to play and get my dad to help me. These videos have already helped a lot thank you so much!

Hi Nate. Your note on using a footstool was very helpful. Ive been struggling with guitar wanting to keep moving away from me. Thanks.

Today I came across these lessons. Nate is a wonderful guitar instructor; the first 6 lessons are so informative. This beats paying for an instructor. I can't wait to continue with the rest of the lessons, so I can get back into playing my guitar. Thanks :o)
