Sitting with the Guitar !!! (Proper Form)

Hi Family !!!

I hope everyone's well there

I have had a very bad habit of Sitting with a Hunched-Back (if the term is correct), and may be that was causing the Shoulder Problem for me

After reading an article that the biggest mistake one can do is sitting with a Hunch, while holding the Guitar. So for the last 2 Days I've been practicing, trying to keep my Back as Straight and Upright as possible. I feel a lot of comfort in my playing and my Shoulder is straining less than before !!!

But, I feel that, keeping this upright-back, becomes painful in about 10 Mins and I feel a lot of discomfort in my back. Is this normal ? Will my back adapt to this new-position, which it hasnt experienced for over 20 years. Should I continue this way ?

Please advice with your experiences.

Thanks and Lots of Care
Kush


No one can master every aspect of guitar playing, they just get better everyday.
