Best Guitar Strap For Back Pain - 5 Comfortable Choices

[@SprunkCovers]

Underrated video, instrument weight is very important imo

[@GuitarPickZone]

Thanks so much Ricardo. Yes indeed, instrument weight is very often overlooked by many guitarists.

[@gabe4u22]

Proper weight distribution is what a real guitarist will look for. Not the fact it's a few pounds heavier. If it's balanced, and your not under the age of 10. You should be fine with a slightly heavier guitar. Just make sure it's balanced properly.

@@gabe4u22 I'm 11 years old and couldn't sleep because of it so I saw a doctor a while back and he told me to fix my posture , get wide strap and to take a brake and prectice less as well as sleep more. I filled his instructions and did wonders. If you want to help get rid of back pain don't worry there are some cheaper options for straps out there unlike these which are oriented towards people who have some extra cash to burn on the higher quality ones. If you're experiencing bad issues and are conserned go see a doctor trust me it's worth your physical and mental wellbeing having that weight off your back. (get the joke , weight back..... Yea I hate it too)

[@gabe4u22]

@@pilotreg maybe you need better parents who won’t just buy you a heavy bass guitar knowing you have back pain and not approaching it in a way considering your back condition. This all sounds quite fishy mr. 11 year old. Don’t try to play any sympathy cards here man. With all those intellectual channels I see you follow on KZbin, way further ahead in content than the average “11 year old” would subscribe to. But sure. Hope you learn to not play a sorry card and deal with your issues

[@gabe4u22]

@@pilotreg oh god. No 11 year old speaks like you do. I said stop with this pretend to get potty upon you. If you were sincere, you wouldn’t feel the need to explain such a long story. And so grammatically proper. You must of skipped a few grades too eh?

[@madtuned5150]

This channel deserves a SUBSCRIPTION! underrated video btw! thank you from someone who has had 4 back surgeries

[@weedian710]

I highly recommend the Ernie Ball stretch strap. You generally have to order them online. Buckethead uses them and plays an extra Lange Les Paul. Makes my guitars feel weightless. Even my unchambered Les Paul.

[@GuitarPickZone]

Awesome! I need to check the Ernie Ball stretch now :D

[@fisnikbalan5253]

i’m playing a Ernie Ball MusicMan StingRay Bass, it’s a heavy instrument. I had a standard fender strap, and i am not a very strong and big guy, and i bought a neoprene strap from fender.. best strap ever

[@GuitarPickZone]

Very happy to hear this! Rock on!

[@joshuaramirez]

Not so much for back pain but how about for shoulder pain???

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

I use Fender WeighLess elastic straps with my three Fender basses and a DiMarzio elastic with my Rickenbacker 4003. These especially help with my Steve Harris signature Precision Bass, which weighs over 5 kilograms. Doesn't hurt or fatigue me at all.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I have bad back pain and my favourite is the DSL 3.5" distressed leather strap. Super soft with great weight distribution

[@GuitarPickZone]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@percythrower9193]

Really helpful video, sir - I was toying with the Kliq already but I think I have been really helped by you to finally buy one. Cheers and best - PT.

[@GuitarPickZone]

Thanks Percy!

[@predicast]

Cool video. Thx!

[@GuitarPickZone]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@michaelhaller8495]

Slinger straps are unbelievable and are very comfortable

[@GuitarPickZone]

I will need to try them :D

[@dv8rulz]

The CFG strap wears out in less than a year with part time use

[@lordcrowlay]

Imagine a metal guitarist with a neotech harness 😅 that the most unmetal thing

[@GuitarPickZone]

I'd pay to see that!

[@edgyswordsmanmanga4051]

What if you add spikes? I think it has potential.

[@ManuelVazquez-bg9ud]

Pretty tech tho xD

[@kyronnewbury]

Imagine destroying your back and in turn life because some people think it's "unmetal" 🙄

[@yoniamos262]

you have to add in DROP strap to every strap to get the best feature, no other strap has it

[@GuitarPickZone]

I've just checked out DROP strap. Great looking product! I feel it slightly cumbersome in terms of looks when compared to other strap locks. But, I haven't tried the DROP strap so I'm keen to do so and I will let you know how it goes :)

[@oonoamishereoo9442]

Is the kliq aircell guitar strap also for acoustic guitars?

[@GuitarPickZone]

Yes sir! They can be used on electric, acoustic and bass.

[@jdmack01]

Is the image at 3:43 showing a Gruv Gear Duostrap? It looks different than the other photos.

[@keithclark486]

What about for someone who plays B Bender guitar ?

[@GuitarPickZone]

That is a great question! i actually do not know as I've never played/nor thought about B-bender guitars, but I'll do some investigation and let you know for sure :)

[@hekakain4108]

Where can I get padding to fit DiMarzio DD2800BK Cliplock Guitar Strap - 3" ?

[@JamesJohnson-hb1me]

Thank you! My back hurts...

[@GuitarPickZone]

Hope this video helped!

[@pilotreg]

Think your back hurts ,I'm 11 years old and can't sleep because of my back pain when I practice my bass guitar but my parents won't let me get a good strap because it's too expensive (only £20) So I'm stuck with a cheap strap that came with my cheap guitar (£100).

[@636op]

@@pilotreg you can play sitting down

[@BryanX64]

Shoulder pain for me, more than anything

[@GuitarPickZone]

Hope some of these options helped

[@RobotShlomo]

Just bought the Kliq Aircell strap and it's too short. I don't like wearing my guitar up to my chin like Gerry Marsden, so I'm waiting on the seller to respond to me on Reverb. Otherwise I've just wasted $40.

[@GuitarPickZone]

Ah I'm so sorry to hear that. Are there not perhaps maybe longer versions of the Kliq? If not, there should be a return policy when buying such items.

[@bigrig4385]

You can send it to me if you don't want it, I don't wear mine like the guys from Korn

[@Ottophil]

@@bigrig4385 why? If your guitar doesnt bounce off the stage with your jncos, are you even cool?

[@bigrig4385]

@@Ottophil LMAO

[@Blakelysworld358]

If you mixed the Kliq air strap with the Gruv Gear Duo strap that would be perfect

[@ashokans9211]

No straps are available in India

[@GuitarPickZone]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that :( Not even Ernie Ball?

[@TheStrataminor]

Change countries..

[@drkslider1182]

Too bad none of these are over 60”long

[@sangrededragon8388]

jesus I would neber wear one of those shit harnest

[@GuitarPickZone]

I couldn't agree more with you. However, the sad thing is, some people can only play guitar with those harnesses due to their bad backs.

[@sangrededragon8388]

@@GuitarPickZone you are right, its a great option for them. It might be due to playing positions.. Ive seen a lot of player that had a really bad angle in theyr back while playing sitting down.. Ive never understood why most players dont play standing up..its such a better feeling

[@sangrededragon8388]

@@GuitarPickZone thx for the review though.. Was shopping yesterday for a strap for my 11lbs SD godin bass. The Kliq was really tempting for all the comfort aspects, but I just couldn't deal with the look... I decided to go with good old double padded leather, which offer long life badassness and good comfort

[@GuitarPickZone]

Agreed 100%!! Playing standing is up is the best! The guitar becomes like an extension of your body! I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I completely understand about the Kliq. You can't go wring with double-padded leather! Enjoy!

[@gabe4u22]

This video should be called " how to look like a fool by buying one of these straps"

[@GuitarPickZone]

looool! True :P unfortunately some folks have no other option :(

[@gabe4u22]

@@GuitarPickZone i know, I was just trying to make a little joke lol. Thanks for posting the video. Keep up the good work
