Guitar Strap Is 2nd Most Important Guitar Accessory

The guitar STAND is the most important guitar accessory, because it lets you keep your guitar handy, which enables you to easily pick it up and practice, practice, practice...

If your guitar is in a case, in the closet, thats probably where it will stay, until one day you sell it as “barely used”...

The guitar STRAP is the second most important guitar accessory, because it lets you STAND UP to play.

You will need to STAND UP if you ever hope to take your guitar playing to the next level.

You need to be on your feet, on your toes, with your body weight able to be shifted from one foot to the other foot.

You need to play your guitar with every cell in your body, from head to toe.

You need to be able to DANCE.

Without DANCE, there would be no music, because Dance leads first, and then Music follows after...

If you can’t even dance to your own music, don’t expect anyone else to dance to your music!

Dance like nobody is watching!

To play lead guitar, you must first develop your rhythm chops, and to develop rhythm, you must first learn to let go, cut loose, and DANCE!

By shifting your body weight from side to side, it enables you to slow down, to feel the song, and to “flywheel” your playing through the passages where you might otherwise lose the beat and rhythm.

Its impossible to overstate the importance of a good (cotton!) guitar strap (with strap locks!) to the advancement of your guitar playing.

Yes I know B.B.King sat down to play, but he earned that right. When he was a young man, he STOOD on a street corner in Mississippi and developed his chops. You are not B.B.King, and you have not earned the right to sit down on the job.

Do not fool yourself by saying you will stand when you get good enough to stand, because you need to stand up first, and only then you will get better at playing, and maybe after many years of practicing on your feet, you will have earned the right to sit down.

The vast majority of every guitar hero you know stands up to play, and thats not a coincidence! They are good because they stand up!

I never really understood how to play guitar properly until I saw Angus Young of AC/DC DANCE with his guitar in a live video of “Let There Be Rock”
