Question

Do you have any tips about playing standing up?

Answer

Don't try standing on one leg, you will usually fall. Seriously, you just have to practice doing it. It may seem awkward at first, but you will get used to it. If you play in a band, stand up during rehearsals or jam sessions. When you play standing up, you can't see the fretboard as well as when you are sitting down. Many guitars have small dots on the side of the neck that are design for this purpose. You can see them when you are standing up. They will help you see where you are on the fretboard. Oh yeah, get a strap lock.
