I had trouble standing up when I started as well, but I got fully used to it in about 3 months!. I didn't really practice it, it just came naturally as I got more comfortable with my chords and everything!. I would just suggest adjusting your strap to a height close to where it is when you're sitting!. If you are having trouble seeing the fretboard to know where to play, I would get a sturdy little box to put one leg up on so the guitar will be angled back toward you a little more like this l\ instead of this ll!. Don't stress it too much, you'll get it soon enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

try to get the strap to hold the guitar at about the same position as you have it when sitting!. Then unplug and walk around doing chords and scales!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try several positions!. You may not always be playing in a sitting position!. This will also give you the chance to adjust your strap, and give your wrist some exercise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
