| I tried to be cool |
So I was watching some Youtube videos of Slash and Zach Wylde playing on stage together.. I noticed how low slung their Les Pauls were.. I took my strap and lowered mine down to about the same as they had em... F me up.. how the hell do you play the guitar that low and do as good as they do.. I mean granted they are playing moslty minors and minor major pentatonics, but still, Zack is burning up the frets, all it did for me is make my writst hurt.
guess that's what the problem is ,, my arms are to short. Just can't play the guitar slung real low like Jimmy Page and all the cool guys. I'm a nerd guitarist, should have stuck with Jazz, they all play their guitars up high.
ps it would have been better if they had left Slash's guitar volumes alone,, right at the first of the video he's getting great sound, then they turn him down, F'd it all up.

)By the way, if I were Slash I'd be pretty pissed at the way they screwed up the volume - he's playing some sweet lead in there...but you just can't hear it....
...also, check out the bass player - he's kicking ass in there...really good!
Interesting observation.
The two in the back have their guitars at hip hight.
Having your axe at pelvis hight does a number of things ... it looks cool, you take more control of it and to bring up a point you made in a recent video upload, they become more animated because of how it's held.
They stand with one leg on the stage speakers, they bend forwards and they pull it up
Yea! Bloody technicians on volume knobs !

hmm maybe I'll look into a procedure that will add 6" to my arms...
Slash looks cool with a guitar in his hands,, he looks kind of goofy when he is walking around without one.

Yikes, I'll leave well enough alone.
Neither me can play a guitar so low hanging. Are you sure that Slash plays his guitar in real in that way?

could all be fake ? maybe I think it's because without the guitar he looks like a chimpanzee, his arms are to long for his body

I may not have it up under my chin, but I can't play with it down as low as zack and slash. Makes my wrist hurt.
