How To Put On A Guitar Strap

This video is about how to put a guitar strap on. Most guitars will come equipped with strap buttons here, like this, and you want to buy a guitar strap. Obviously, it's very important to get a reasonably good one, as in my own experience, in fact, one of the first case I ever did, I actually dropped the guitar! So, it wasn't a very good experience.

My first solo, I dropped the guitar. Anyway, it usually come about 12 pounds, 15 pounds, and it will look like this. It comes in all different colours, you get very flashy ones, very fashionable ones - whatever you like - I've got a very plain one here.

So, as a beginner, you just might want to just buy something like this. All we need is with this on the end, you literally put this on to the strap button here, and then you fit it on to the other strap button here. It should fit very comfortably.

They have very well made these, put it over your shoulders, make sure it's secure before you stand up, and then stand up. Another point is the strap can become a very personal issue. If you have seen guitarists like George Benson, it's very colourful and quite a big strap, and also you can change the height of the guitar strap.

You can change this. The rock guitarists like to wear the guitar slightly lower. A jazz guitarist likes to play the guitar slightly higher.

So, that's a different choice, it will become a very personal choice but really, just make sure that it's very secure on you. And that's how to fit a guitar strap.
