diablo175 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 (edited) Somewhere in between. My body is past the point of being able to convincingly rock out. I'm essentially musically illiterate; knowing enough to know I don't know shit. So, the guitar is midway between. Edited April 6 by diablo175 4 Quote

Biz Prof Posted April 6 Posted April 6 I've always worn mine mid-riff height. The extremes always looked goofy to me. Porcaro wore his bass so high, he could almost play it with teeth without lifting it up. Steve Clark often looked like he could rest the lower bout on the floor at his feet. 5 1 Quote

Jakeboy Posted April 7 Posted April 7 I am in the middle because I can play better with the guitar back hitting my belly button….being able to perform better trumps looking cool…but….I can still play with mucho energy so that covers it. 1 Quote
