Bro this shit is impossible. I’ve been practicing for 3 years now, all sitting down. Two days ago I finally decided to stop buying dumbfuck bullshit and bought a proper guitar strap and decided to start playing standing up. It’s literally like I’m starting all over again, everything feels extremely weird, my shoulder that the strap sits on is sore all the time, I get lost a lot while playing because I can’t see the fret markers on the fingerboard anymore, I lose control of the pick a lotta time when I tremolo pick because my picking hand is at a different angle and height that I’m not used to, playing the instrument as a whole just feels alien.
Is this normal when you’re transfering from playing sitting down to standing up? Are these things just the growing pains of the whole process? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
