What does look serious is the angle at which you hold the guitar. Hold it more upright. I know you're doing it so you can see what your fingers are doing but it's a bad habit that will impair your technique.
Nice sound though - keep it up.
Hi There

Thanks for caring and for pointing out that. I guess, I do it by habit now.

Actually I wanted to ask this in a seperate thread, but I guess this is a good time to ask it : Actually I feel that the Body of this Guitar is way too big for me to hold it comfortably, without tilting it a bit. And I would say this is more of reason that I tilt it that way, than having to look at my Fretting (but I'm not sure).

When I keep the Guitar "straighter" & "More Parallel to my Abdomen", my Right-Shoulder has to be raised, to go over the Top and come to the strings. (I hope I'm being clear with my Doubt) And due to this I tilt or slant the Guitar, so that I can keep my shoulder a bit lower. I dont want to change my Guitar (atleast for now,) because I feel very comfortable, Finger-Picking it.

Kindly advice on this

Regards and care
Kush


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