What are your thoughts. Thanks. 

You're not the only one friend.  I hated holding the guitar the traditional way.  


With the guitar on the left leg, neck slanted up close to the body, I feel so relaxed.


Very good post.  Glad I'm not the only one.


 


BTW, I think the guitar is held on the right leg for most, is because when your standing, 


this matches the natural position of the guitar.
