What I do rather cleverly is I use a Guitar Strap by adding Guitar strap buttons because it helps keep the instrument in playing position. The strap allows me to play both standing & seated, & actually it also allows me to angle the instrument more upright so that I can get it on camera when recording.

I like using Dunlop Picks, Jazz Picks sound great (especially because it uses Flatwound Strings), Regular Guitar Picks work great as well, but recently I've experimented w/ using a Dunlop Thumb/Flat Pick because I can simply wear the pick over my right thumb & it's alot more convenient.

Learning Ruan is difficult for Westerners because there is so little information available to us.
