Learning to handle a guitar properly is as important as learning how to play the guitar. Let me give you a few tips on how to handle a guitar. There are three rules to be followed for proper guitar handling.
1. How to Hold the Guitar: You must remember that the guitar is a musical instrument and you have to treat it with respect. Hold it gently but firmly. Since you are a beginner, you may want to hold on to your guitar tightly, but pray let go. Hold it in such a way that the guitar becomes a natural extension of your body. This will help in free movement of your arms and fingers. At the same time remember not to hold your guitar so causally as to feel that it may drop out of your hands.
2. Posture: I am sure you have admired all those guitarists strumming excellently while bending backwards and forwards. Well, you can do those antics too, but not as a beginner. Assume a proper posture as your coach will guide you and concentrate on free finger movements. Keep your body straight and let the music flow through your body to your fingertips and on to the guitar.
3. Keep Your Finger Nails Trimmed: One thing you CANNOT afford to have as a guitarist is long finger nails. The strings of a guitar are fairly close to each other and if your nails are long, it will strike the wrong chord and spoil the song and sometimes spoil the guitar too. So, make sure to maintain neat and closely trimmed fingernails while learning to play a guitar. If you follow all these trips, you would have taken the first large step towards becoming a good guitar player.
