Have you found the perfect guitar seat?

Do you perch on a chair? A stool? Your bed?
What seat do you sit on for strum or for shred?
Do you like it to swivel or stay fixed in place?
How 'bout a nice rail for your foot to be braced?

Is it low to the ground or perhaps a bit higher?
Is it comfy for hours with Strat or with Squier?
Is it just a flat seat or does it have a back?
Is it fuchsia or turquoise or classic jet black?
…

TL;DR we’re looking to get another chair and/or stool or two for the studio, to make sure we have a real comfortable seat both for filming our own stuff and for guests we bring in for interviews.

We have a swivel stool with footrest rail thing that works well for us, but it’s kind of falling apart. We’d love any suggestions if you have one you really like!

I’ll be curious to see some of the answers because I could use a new seat as well.

I just use a regular wooden chair with a back and no arms. I usually sit in the classical position, so as long as I’ve got a foot rest I don’t mind. I brought an actual guitar foot rest for that (which is adjustable to make up for my giant height!) As long as I can put my foot up, i’m not super fussy on the actual chair.

It’s just my desk chair… minus the right arm rest. :smile: I also use a footrest since I play in classical position.

Im exactly the same unless I’m in front of the TV and my couch is the right height to sit without a foot rest.

Drum throne and classical position foot rest are my go to combo, good sir.

They can be a bit pricey, but I invested in a nice Roc N Soc chair a decade ago and love it. I’m on it for around 25 hrs each week (teaching), and it was a great investment. It’s built like a tank too.

If I’m at home, I usually lay on the couch :joy::joy:

Those Roc N Soc chairs look really cool…especially with a backrest. Pricey, but that has never stopped me when it comes to gear over the years and it looks as if it will pay off in comfort!
