Sorry at risk of hogging this thread, I mean the strap that goes under the guitar and slots into the sound hole has the potential to damage the sound hole and the whole front of a guitar.

With respect to a high position being good for picking but not good for strumming, since I got used to the high picking position, my strumming has improved so that I can support a fiddle and accordion player with much more control, when it was lower I tended to thrash.


Now I'll be quiet unless asked to comment again!
