(Description from Strings by Mail)
If you’d rather focus on playing your guitar than playing with your guitar support, you’ll love the S Dynarette Guitar Support. There’s nothing to adjust, no suction cups or clamps to stick on your guitar. Just set this comfortable cushion on your leg, set your guitar on the cushion, and you’re ready to play.
Best of all, the Dynarette really captures the feel of holding your guitar in your lap like you’re using a foot stool – but without the physical problems that can develop from foot stool use. Your guitar will still move with you as you move along with the music.
Where you place the cushion on your leg determines the angle of your guitar. It can range from the neck being almost parallel with the ground to the head stock pointing up at a sharp angle.
The S Dynarette lifts the guitar 4 inches off your leg and is 7.75 inches wide. A XL Dynarette is also available that lifts the guitar 5 inches.
The tapered design provides a rake of about 10 degrees, a position where the guitar is most stable. However, you can create a flatter or steeper angle by tipping the guitar on the cushion.
A rubber strip along the cushion’s bottom helps increase stability and decrease slippage. To further increase stability, some players like to combine the cushion with the Gitano Guitar Support. The Dynarette comes with a carrying case that can clip on your gig bag for easy transport.
Sorry – the Dynarette is only designed for right-handed players.
Hi, I’m Allen Mathews.
I started as a folk guitarist, then fell in love with classical guitar in my 20’s. Despite a lot of practice and schooling, I still couldn’t get my music to flow well. I struggled with excess tension. My music sounded forced. And my hands and body were often sore. I got frustrated, and couldn’t see the way forward. Then, over the next decade, I studied with two other stellar teachers – one focused on the technical movements, and one on the musical (he was a concert pianist). In time, I came to discover a new set of formulas and movements. These brought new life and vitality to my practice. Now I help guitarists find more comfort and flow in their music, so they play more beautifully.

Hi Allen,
Greetings from the UK. I would like to thank you for providing such an excellent resource. The effort and skill which has gone into creating this program is very evident. I started classical guitar a year or so ago with a teacher but was unable to commit to same time regular slots each week.The Woodshed Program was exactly what I was looking for. I have found the site very intuitive and well structured and have taken your advice and started from the very beginning of the program whilst still practising some of the pieces I was already working on. It is clear that I will benefit greatly from these early technical studies. There were clearly weaknesses and gaps in my knowledge even though I am still at an early stage. Once again many thanks for the program and very best wishes.
