Kinda-sorta like standing perfectly erect whilst at attention. The tendency is to slouch. Which is where discipline comes in.
I just wanted to thank everyone who gives of their time and experience on these boards..as a newbie myself, I learn so much from the posts and photos...and drooling over others' guitars is fun, too! Thank you all so much for sharing your time, talents, and patience. I wish that I could send you all some cookies!
