Keeping your acoustic guitar in tune is very important and should be tuned every time you play, whether you are play for fun or doing a show. A guitar that is out of tune is not fun to play, so take a few extra minutes and tune your guitar and you will be rewarded. When you are a beginner learning the importance of acoustic guitar tuning can be a bit frustrating, but well worth learning and doing it in the correct manner.

Playing guitar for extended periods of time is really stressful for your back if you don’t have good posture. Keeping the following key points in mind should help you maintain a good posture and hold your guitar correctly. When you hold your guitar, the back of the instrument should rest against your stomach. For people who use the right hand for playing guitar, the neck of the guitar will point to their left. The guitar body should rest on your right thigh. Your left hand should go around the guitar’s neck while your right arm goes around the body so your hand is near the strings. If it doesn’t feel right, try to shift your body around until you feel comfortable and relaxed.
