Do you anchor or not? Fingerstyle

DavidR

It matters with classical guitar - damps the activity of the top - bad technique and would be frowned on. Acoustic not so much. Just as important to the hold the guitar loosely with your arm/body. Guitar bodies like to hum!!

No and you 'shouldn't' either.

If you manage to play well despite this then congratulations but it despite this limitation, not because of it.

No I don’t, as I want all the fingers available for plucking strings …

No, but I learned classical first so it doesn't feel right to anchor the right hand.
