Playing guitar isn't a sport, but you're definitely learning to use your body in a new way. As you're learning chords and strumming, it's also important to learn the right posture to avoid any back or joint pain šŖ
Here are a few things to keep in mind before & during each practice session.
Sit on a comfortable chairšŖ, preferably without armrests or wheels
Keep both feet on the floor š£
Keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed š¤
Rest your right arm on the upper part of the guitar body (If you play left-handed, do the same but with your left arm) š¦¾
If you find yourself straining, try to adjust your sitting position - you can use a mirror to help! šŖ
