A guitar strap, for supporting a guitar, having a guitar body, and a pair of attachment knobs affixed to the guitar body. The attachment knobs have a neck and a flange, the flange larger in diameter than the neck. The guitar strap has a belt having a first and second end, and a pair of connecting pads, each connecting pad located at one of the first and second ends of the belt. The connecting pads each have a securing hole having a securing hole circumference, which has a relaxed, smaller size, but when pressed down upon one of the attachment knobs enlarges and allows the flange to pass therethrough, and then relaxes and retracts to extend snugly around the neck once the connecting pad has been moved below the flange.

What is claimed is: 1. A guitar strap, for attaching to a guitar body having a pair of attachment knobs, each attachment knob having a neck immediately adjacent to the guitar body, and a flange having a larger diameter than the neck, comprising: a belt, having a first end and second end, sized for extending over the neck and shoulders of a user; a pair of connecting pads, one of said connecting pads attached to the belt at the first end and the other attached to the belt at the second end, each connecting pad having a first surface, a second surface parallel to the first surface, and having a securing hole extending between the first surface and second surface, the securing hole substantially circular having a continuous circumference with no slit connected with the circumference, the connection pad made of an elastic material at the securing hole, the securing hole having a relaxed smaller diameter, the securing hole may be elastically deformed such that it may be enlarged to extend over the flange of the guitar attachment knob, and will return to the relaxed smaller diameter once the connection pad is below the flange such that the securing hole circumference extends snugly around the neck of the attachment knob. 2. The method of supporting a guitar having a guitar body and a pair of attachment knobs affixed to the guitar body, each attachment knob having a neck adjacent to the body and a flange attached to the neck which is larger in diameter than the neck, using the guitar strap having a belt having a first end and second end and connecting pads attached to the first and second ends, each connecting pad having a securing hole having a securing hole circumference, comprising the steps of: a. positioning the securing hole of one of the connection pads against the flange of one of the attachment knobs; b. enlarging the securing hole by pressing the connection pad adjacent to the securing hole circumference downwardly against the flange; c. moving the enlarged securing hole downward over the flange to the neck; d. snugly engaging the neck with the securing hole by relaxing the securing hole and elastically reforming the securing hole; e. repeating steps (a) through (d) for the other of the attachment knobs and on the guitar body with the other of the connection pads; and f. supporting the guitar body by extending the belt over the user. 3. The guitar supporting method as recited in claim 2, wherein each connecting pad is made of a resilient material surrounding the securing hole, wherein the securing hole is substantially circular and its circumference is continuous and closed. 4. The guitar supporting method as recited in claim 3, wherein each connecting pad has a first surface and a parallel second surface, wherein the step of positioning one of the connection pads against the flange further comprises positioning the second surface of said connection pad against the flange, and wherein the step of pressing the connection pad adjacent to the securing hole circumference downwardly against the flange further comprises pressing the first surface downwardly toward the guitar body. 5. The guitar supporting method as recited in claim 4, further comprising the step of removing each connecting pad from its associated attachment knob comprises enlarging the securing hole by pulling the connection pad upwardly against the flange.
