Excellent video Silly Mustache. The suggestion on rotating the guitar is what I do. I'm 60 and play dreads and jumbos with no shoulder pain.
I just started learning mandolin. They are small and you need a strap even while seated. The length of the strap should allow your arms to hang naturally hand your hands will be in the proper location by bending your elbows.
On a guitar this pushes the neck forward rotating the bout back. The exact position described in the video.
