To whom it may concern:
So sorry to bother you, even I have no idea who I have to contact.
I'm very glad to learn the strap button installation from this website.
I've taken careful looks at the video for several times, also a relative complete concept has been built up.
However, I have a small question here: Why the button at the neck is installed on the right side (pointing to one's navel) instead of left side (the side toward one's nose)?
In my thinking, will the button on the bottom side be a hindrance to the left hand while it goes up to the higher positions----12th, 13th...frets or higher!? If the button is installed on the opposite side---toward the nose, what might happen?
Probably my question seems ridiculous or stupid, but I'm really worried about something uncomfortable that might show up during higher position performance.
Best wishes.

i can't figure out why nobody is willing to help me out with my concern. maybe in the video show, the author, i guess, has already made some explanation of the reason why the button installation on the 'nose' side is not better than on the 'navel' side. regretfully my pc is too poor to be compatible with either the video or audio effect! i wish i could get some help from anyone who has gone thru this issue. thanks a lot.
