Location: UK | The guitar just keeps sliping off my knee, my hunch is and im sure Jeff will back me up on this , is that the humidity in the Florida air has caused the plastic particles in the back of the guitar to expand causing there to now be a greater gap between the front of the guitar to the back resulting in me having to stretch my right arm further to play and the guitar slipping forwards
Stupidly i told my mum about this and she reccons that eating 4 pancakes , 2 eggs , 2 llbs of potatoes , a muffin and a bagel every morning at Perkins might have something to do with it .
Well, naturally i told her thats ridiculos :eek: , we all know there is still no absolute proof about the connection between over eating and getting fat , just like with global warming , I mean just ask Mr Bush .
Maybe some one can shed some light on this phenomina |

As for the breakfasts, even Bush, Cheney, the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation,and the rest of the neo-con wealthy industrialists who want to take over and rule the world are having to re-evaluate their stance on global warming in the light of overwhelming evidence.

As for girth, playing style, familial harmony, laws of thermodynamics, and The Greater Cosmos; somebody needs to stuff it. |

I've always thought that if it slips or rolls, you're putting too much pressure on the top of the guitar with the right arm...

If THAT'S not and "under-hand lob", I dunno WHAT is.
If only Master Jeffrey had a nickle for every time he's had to utter THAT one . . . |

I don't know for sure, he really doesn't talk to me directly (apparently even indirect association counts), but I've heard it's been discussed... |

Location: NJ | Try playing in chair that puts your arse (excuse me . . "derriere") at the same height (or lower) than your knee).
If your upper leg is parallel to the floor, the guitar has nowhere to "slide" too . . . |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | My problem is... Now that I have moved from SSB's to Grown-Up deep-bowls, I cannot just tilt the top of the guitar up a bit to see what I am doing.
I actually gotta use them fret-dots on the side of the neck to see where I'm going!
But as to Your Problem... Cross your leg! It holds the guitar at a nice height, and it won't slip! |
