Or you can just install an armrest. That's what they are for. I use them for years on all my guitars and will never go back.
Very difficult if all you do is heavy palm muted metal on an electric
So is this the reason I see alot of accoustic guitar players holding their guitar (mostly OO, OOO and so on) in a slight angle away from the body?
Or just don't buy guitars made from plywood
You really transformed my playing with this one tip. Thanks @samuraiguitarist
On the acoustic, if you can switch from plectrum to finger style (including perhaps finger or thumb picks), your dynamics and tone are much better. I’ve observed this at gigs many times. Especially for solo artists.
I play the banjo, but this actually goes doubly for playing the banjo. The head of the banjo is literally drum, designed to resonate throughout the banjo for as long as possible, so if you don’t limit your contact it could effect the resonance of even intonation
“See the way an acoustic guitar works is via acoustics”
Dude, shut the fuck up.
I never knew that
Love the reverse flying v
Are you sure? so.. yes the body resonates the sound.. but it still makes the sound irrespective of the body. You’re sudden change in the bodies pressure causes a “pause” or a dip because for a moment the waves compressed due to the compression in the wood. As the wood expands so does the distance the sound has to travel, causing a lag. Subtle but audible. Make a bodiless guitar and you’ll see what I mean, maybe. The less “body” the more sound. Quantity does not translate into quality… timbre in instruments is about muffling certain frequencies.
This is so obvious now that you’ve pointed it out. But I never realized it until this moment and I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years.
wow really? gee,thanks for the physics lesson.
This is why I spoon my guitar when I play late at night as to not wake my neighbors
Not me hunkering down over it like im trying to look inside it
I’m pretty sure what we just heard was the neck bending as you inadvertently pulled it while squeezing the body. What you said in theory should be true but it sounded like the pitch changed as you did it, which dosent track as it shouldn’t bend
Most of the sound is actually produced by the soundboard behind the bridge.
When finger picking, I find I get a richer sound if I pick closer to the neck. Somewhere between the middle of the soundhole and the top. About 2/3 or 3/4 towards the top

I think its easier to do standing up btw
For singer songwriters the opposite might be helpful, cause you dont want an overwhelming rich guitar acoustic sound while singing those deep sad lyrics.
If you look at some of the guitarists from the big band era, they look like lazy SOB's sitting on chairs leaning back playing but, in reality they are doing pretty much what this guy is saying. They're trying to keep those arch tops away from their belly's, so the sound is as loud as possible! Don't forget they didn't have amps back then.
Please do a show and tell on that reverse flying vee!
I’ve been thinking of the acoustic guitar all wrong! I guess I thought they worked by having the strings make a small noise that’s amplified by reverberations inside the body but of course it’s more about vibrations being transferred through the guitar! I wonder what an acoustic would sound like if the strings were floating and not connected to the guitar via the bridge?
Why would you buy a reverse v? Ive heard it's very uncomfortable to play.
When I was a kid, I could not play my amp at night and my amps did not have headphone jacks and I couldn't afford upgrades or such as power or sound output attenuator. I played acoustic at night and I'd use my arm and made sound hole covers to adjust volume and tone.
I started resting my electric guitar against the hollow of the side of my dresser or my chest of drawers and the room walls that were wood or the ones that were sheetrock, ECT. This amplified the ( sound pressure level SPL / Volume ) and brought out the resonance and lows, mids and highs that my electric guitar produced naturally. I learned to play Clean and precise and speed up as I progressed and not mask my sound & tone with add Ons of any kind Electric or Acoustic !!! Times and Funds & Gear and Gear use changes allowing me to play at any Volume Level with any Add Ons Electronics or Otherwise !!! "Respect for my people around me wether at home, in a studio or out and about in the open" !!! Play On FretBro . . . ????????????????????????????????????????????✝️???? DDH 12-21-2023.
Wow! You can REALLY hear a difference here!!
You can make a tone tremolo by testing forearm on guitar and lifting up and rapidly repeating steps one and two
I love to feel all the vibrations on my body. Acoustic guitar is so alive. You have to feel it. When you are on your own. Otherwise
Guitars are so comfy to ~rest~ on tho
Well that’s decades of habit to unlearn, wish me luck!
Makes sense
Whammy bar for people without a whammy bar
If you stick your face in the sound hole it produces amazing tone but if you stick your face in someone’s moms sound hole it’s even better.
I spent the first 2 years of playing on a Yamaha acoustic. Once I finally got an electric i had to learn so much just to keep it from making noise. My entire technique had to change. Palm muting, muting with the fretting hand, how to avoid feedback and use the switches and knobs. I had the opposite problem. I'd spent enough time with an acoustic to learn what Sammy G is teaching but the electric 6 months in freed me up to play leads up high hear the difference between "Black Dog" on acoustic and with distortion on electric! I was taught by friends who played, books and magazines until I developed my ear and one friend told me "It's good to know how to play both" … I respected him as a musician and I think he was right.
Just like Sammy's right! Good one Sammy, as usual ✌️❤️????????????
This works great the other way around when i'm playing at home and i don't wanna make too much noise to the other people in this place.
Man, I've been playing for decades and that is the first time I've given that any thought. Thanks!!!

You are the ninja master!
Andy McKee has left the chat
Or you could use a jellyfish pick to get that robust tone you’ve always wanted????????
hmmmmmm so putting all my weight on the guitar is bad.
This, and your retuning after adding a capo are great tips!
Thanks so much. ????
