@xBeMyEscapex44 thank you for your help.
but i don’t have a stusd on the bottom of my guitar.
that’s the matter wich confused me

@michiunltd I have a strap like this. it hooks to the stud on the bottom of your guitar and gets tied onto the end of the neck of your guitar. you can go to any music store where they sell straps and they will attach it for you if you want

don’t know if it’s just me. but how is your guitar belt attached? there are no locks so where is it locked? i can understand the part in front of the guitar but whats with the back? i want to do that too, but i don’t see an option to connect the belt with my guitar.
sorry for the bad english

“Thats all there is to it!” Youre awesome.

play the top 3 strings (or bottom depending on how you look at it) and just hear what the songs supposed to sound like, then just practice going between the notes you normally play along with the steady bass behind it, eventually you will get it. Only takes like 15-20 minutes to get all the notes in the right places
