ABSTRACT:
A guide for stringed instrument and method. The guide comprises a mast slidably and rotatably attached to a clamp, an arm slidably and rotatably attached to and end of the mast opposite the clamp, and an up-stop rigidly attached to an end of the arm opposite the mast. Padding may be attached to the clamp to cushion the attachment between the clamp and a stringed plucked instrument. Method steps included removably attaching the clamp to a stringed instrument, setting a height of the up-stop over the instrument strings to substantially equal the sum of a player's middle finger distal phalangeal joint length plus the player's middle finger middle phalangeal joint length, positioning the player's index and middle fingers substantially under the up-stop, and plucking the strings. The guide may also be used to properly position a bow in a rest position, resting against the up-stop, pending being used to play the instrument.
