Chairs for playing guitar?

[mathias]

Hey folks,

I recently (re)hurt my shoulder and went through the issues of having pain while at work all day. (I sit at a computer coding, so I had to figure out what to do about keyboard/mouse to make that more comfortable.)

Not that I'm playing guitar again, I find that I can't just sit in a wooden kitchen chair like I could in the past. And I've never really liked office chairs -- the arms get in the way of the guitar.

So what do you sit in? Looking more for a "This is designed to be comfortable while playing guitar" chair over a "my laz-e-boy sure is comfy" response :P

In real life, I'm a computer guy my right arm hurt a lot (from the shoulder to the hand... damn mouse)... not the left one so the strap don't bother me.
But just a strait IKEA chair is ok with me.



But most of the time I'm sitting on the floor pushing the pedal with my hands.

I don't even have a sofa anyway.

Ikea has a bunch of office chairs without arms, or at least where the arms are separate. I have one similar to this that works well for me: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80146678/

a milk crate or a little combo amp was always my spot
until i asked the dude i jam with for some tips on how to not suck at guitar
he says "well,first thing, you should stand up" and then some derogitory names
i felt so uncool that i barely sit down playin at home anymore
all that aside some older dining room chairs have springs and horsehair padding that doesnt inflame the hemmoroids too bad

i like using smaller office chairs that you can remove the arms on. very comfortable/cheap and nothing to get in your way!

Get a belt and attach the guitar to the buckle.

But do it so the guitar can spin around.

Then get a Harmonic Percolator.

Not what I've got, but what I want:

Chairs are outdated. You want one of these, they're great for your posture.

That's the one I have... Reebok and filled with sand so it "stays put"...








They're good for sex too is what I was saying...

who needs a chair when you have this...

I prefer to play standing, but if I do want to sit (mostly when I first get a new pedal so I can tweak it easier) I use some hideous bright green plastic stool from Ikea.
