    ..Here we go again for guitar chairs, only this time outdoors......Maybe something to throw in the trunk, knowing there'd be outdoor playing....

    Found this, but ??

    My problem with those type of chairs is that you sink into them. That makes holding the guitar in a comfortable position difficult, if not impossible.

    I prefer a firm seat. I’ve sat in a lot of plastic chairs at various gigs, and they seem to do the job well.

    That looks like a nice chair. If it works (for you) it should be worth the money. I paid about $130 for my practice chair and I've never regretted it. (But it does not fold up, so throwing it into a car trunk could present a problem.)

    I'm not as tall as you are (-a mere 5'11") but I have short legs (-and a L-O-N-G torso), so I never need the chairs for long-legged folk. My mom has very long legs but mine are the same length as guys 4-5 inches shorter than I am. Bodies are strange...

    .......I like the fact that it folds......and can be adjusted......I bought a desk chair and found out the seat portion is small......so I'm going to try to take measurements and compare the two - -but I have a feeling this could work !!

    I saw an ad for some boat shoes once, but it was just a Croc.

    ....I guess the discouraging part for me is I couldn't find the correct * indoor * desk chair / guitar practice chair, and now I'm trying to find one for outdoors that folds ??

    ....This is not ' boding well '......: )

    anything without arm rests is a guitar chair. Stop trying to find "the perfect" anything, you'll never find it. Just get something good enough and play. Pick your hero, Django, Metheny, Charlie Parker, or anyone else didn't give a shit what chair he was sitting in.

    I’ve used an IKEA folding chair for years, either inside or out. Lightweight, comfy with an added gel pad, and was $25. I did the ‘special musician chair’ route. Waste of over $200. I threw it out)

    I have a pair on the deck. They look great out there, but they're not as comfortable for me as they should be. The back is angled too far back. More of stool unless you like to play in a very laid back kind of posture. They're great for a light lunch al fresco though!

    I use the Gator Frameworks chair. It's OK, but I'm more comfortable using it along with a strap for a better playing angle.


    This is another option. It's a keyboard chair but looks more comfortable for lengthy use.

    This might be a little heavier than some of these chairs built for guys that weigh 130lbs LOL but what about a killer drum throne? I love my Roc n Soc and i have a very hosed back and i can go for hours on one of these. They also make one with a lumbar support. Again its heavier but VERRRRRYYYY comfy :-) one last edit: those are 2 different model thrones, the nitro is compression, other is clamp down, but i think both come both ways.
