The concave arc of the waist on the lower side coincides with the left thigh, the bottom of the piano rests on the right thigh, the rear edge of the upper part of the resonance box is slightly in contact with the left chest, the right hand hangs down naturally from the concave arc of the waist on the upper side of the resonance box, and the palm of the hand hangs. near the sound hole. Generally, the left leg of the piano is required to be about 10 cm high with a foot pad (5 to 10 cm for children; 10 to 15 cm for adults).

Hold the neck of the guitar with the palm of the left hand facing directly upwards. The tiger's mouth should not stick to the neck as much as possible and leave a certain natural gap. The fingers of the left hand are the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and the fingertips are used to press the strings vertically.
