How To Precisely Position Your Guitar Strap Button
In this video, we talk about how to approach the job of putting a strap button on the guitar.
We use an example guitar to show how the guitar may want to roll away from you, if the strap button is positioned in a not-so-good place…
We talk about finding the balancing point, where the guitar just wants to stay where you put it, and not want to tip either away from you, or toward you.
We talked about erring on the side of having the top of the guitar roll back toward you, because it will probably be resting against your body anyway…
Having the top of the guitar roll AWAY from you is what we want to avoid!
We talked about using a piece of tape, and a pencil, to mark where your finger is, when the guitar is at its balancing point.
We talked about dry fitting your guitar strap end AND a strap lock, to make sure your button position leaves enough space for the strap end AND strap lock to lay flat.
For those of you who may be wondering if this strap button location gets in the way of your left hand thumb, the answer is YES!
BUT, these guitars don’t even bother having a cut-away in the body for finger access, so apparently that wasnt a top priority…
Furthermore, if you are still insisting on trying to use the upper frets, thats fine…
you just have to move your left-hand thumb, out of the so-called “hamburger hand” position, and into a position where your thumb is tucked back, and is flat with the rest of your hand.
If you can already move your hand into this position, to reach the upper-most frets, then its just a matter of moving your thumb into that new position one hand-position sooner, to avoid touching the strap and strap button.
