We agreed that I would get the very best guitar stool I could afford from that day forward. I’ve had a few over the years, but they tend to fall into one of three categories. So, of the best guitar stools, which one is best for you?

What works for another may not work for you, so when and where possible, it’s best to try a few before buying. Another thing would be to make sure you are placing the right foot according to the style you are performing As I mentioned before, in classical you would put it on your left foot as to put the guitar on your left leg. For electric guitar players, I believe it’s a good tool to have in your arsenal and most of them are pretty inexpensive so I would still recommend getting one. I also think it’s a great thing to have some sort of attention on how your body feels while playing. The YIFAN Guitar Cushion is a pretty solid choice as an alternative for a footrest.

What Features Does A Footstool Should Have? For the classical guitarist, a footrest is pretty much essential. The Stagg FOS-A1 BK foot stool for guitar players is a great value solution. Essential for Classical Guitarists For Optimal Comfort Most if not all footstools are adjustable to varying degrees. Some are fully adjustable, meaning you can use them at a height of your choosing. Others have four or six (or another number) of preset height settings you can choose from. And if you find yourself spending long days in the studio, you’ll probably appreciate keeping one on hand as well. Even if you buy one that’s suited for your height, you might want to try having your leg at different positions. So, I suggest choosing a footstool with a height that can be changed.

A classical guitar foot stool — which can be used in tandem with a guitar stool — should be elevated enough to allow for a comfortable playing position.

Both features are essential for any working guitar player that is always moving from one show to the next.

If your feet are level, then the bottom of the guitar is pushing against the inside of your right thigh, but it is difficult to hold up in this position, so you end up holding some of the weight of the guitar with your left hand–which makes playing really difficult. A guitar stool is to a guitar player as a piano bench is to a pianist and every bit as important. They are designed to place the player in the correct ergonomic position to enhance their play. On the other hand, what I do like is that you don’t have to elevate your foot in any way, which to me is slightly more comfortable than having a footrest. Having said that, I would recommend a footstep over both alternatives. Conclusion I like to get high-quality items that won’t need to be replaced.

This is especially important when you’re playing gigs because you’ll want to avoid gear that’s hard to transport.

So, if you’re in a band, you know that those guys behind the kit are always angling for your gear. Keep a close eye on this one. For all intents and purposes, this is a stylish and sturdy guitar stool. Probably the most important indication I can tell you is to make sure you don’t place the footrest either too high that your hip starts feeling some sort of tension or strain, or too low that you have to lift your leg and tense your calf. The Roc-N-Soc tower saddle is one of the most comfortable and best guitar stools you’ll have the pleasure of using. If there was a way to hook this saddle up to your bike, you would.

Of course, there wouldn’t be such a broad range of products if nothing ever went wrong with footstools. It is also very easy to take anywhere, which makes it more convenient. My only problem with it is that for obvious reasons, the height can’t be adjusted, which makes it a bit harder if for some reason you don’t feel 100% comfortable adjusting yourself. A guitar footrest might seem like an unnecessary accessory to have, but as I mentioned before it is a very important aspect of learning to play guitar (or any instrument for that matter) to learn to play with as much comfort and ease as you can.
