What about your setup feels most likely to be working against you?
Choose the thing you would change first if you knew exactly how.
Fretting feels harder than it should
Strings, action, chord pressure, or the neck feel demanding
The guitar feels awkward for my body
Body size, reach, neck position, or instrument shape never feels quite natural
I can’t find a comfortable sitting position
Chair height, leg support, guitar balance, or slumping become an issue
The guitar position feels wrong when standing
Strap height or instrument angle changes how my arms and shoulders work
My picking arm / shoulder has to work too hard
The guitar body or arm position makes the picking side feel loaded
I’m not sure what the setup problem is
I just know the guitar becomes uncomfortable to play
