Did that heading take your interest? haaa
Seriously I want directions to the best chair, stool, seat or whatever you're using for home practice.
Photos and or links please.
This is what I'm using, I'm thinking the seat part is too long?

I sat on the floor cross legged last night for an hour or so. Thought I was going to have to get Mrs. IbLive come help me stand up. Sometimes I forget I'm a member of the Old Farts Club and shouldn't do that any more.

cross legged..........I cant do that

I also practice guitar standing up.

Sofa doesn't work for me, must get my back straight. Looking for good posture support or some kind of ergonomic chair that MAKES me sit correctly.

Actually I have an office chair that looks exactly the same in storage, will roll it out and try.

Not going to consider that option, hey I'm 66 :-(

I'm always fiddling with being comfortable playing seated.
I like the idea of the BB King style sitting back in a chair; comfortable on my dodgy back, but cant manage it.
The angles just aren't right holding the guitar.

I find the biggest factor is seat height off the floor as it affects the angle the thigh makes to keep the guitar against my chest.
Yes, as Gasket says, the back thing becomes important very quickly. I find I can do the sofa sitting at the edge and angled left so the sofa isnt interfering with the guitar body. I try to keep my back mostly straight and bend a bit more at the waist to cradle the guitar body into my chest. The right chair with either the frame of the chair or some other footrest works well too. I have a mechanics rolling stool in the garage with adjustable height I been meaning to try.

The way the body and neck sit always seem too far behind me an my picking forearm is sometimes just not finding a good perch on the guitar body.
And sometimes I just get in a groove and everything is fine. I'm not thinking about it until the next time I'm not in that groove.
SG, Tele, Jaguar all are manageable but LP just sits too far behind me and trying to the left leg thing puts everything too far left. I mostly stand with the LP, though it is the heaviest of my stable. The leg cutout on LP and many others is very forward on the body.

The jag is the most comfortable to me; its something I noticed right away.
I never realized how much it matters until I started doing it.

Height adjustable rotating chair, with back removed. So, basically a cushioned stool with sheepskin on it. Multi task, serves for the easel too.

That looks almost exactly like the chair I use. An office chair with no arms is pretty comfortable for practice.

Dragged it in (not even dusted yet) took note of "height adjustable" comments so I dropped it to lowest.
With my foot rest and low chair position the acoustic was like ... glued, nailed and screwed into a good position.
Will give a Strat a test, I may be onto a winner.
BTW, I play right handed with guitar on left leg, classic style. Not as exaggerated as Bill Wyman though, LOL.
