Hey Classical Guitarist. Backpain? Get One Of These!

If you get backpain from using a footstool sometime after 2-3 hours of practicing each day, you know you would do the 4-5 hours a day it takes to be on top of your game if you could, right? Didn’t you used to do that much each day? I did, until backpain came my way.
