How To Hold Your Guitar

hey yall, i had a question about how you should hold your guitar when doing the Peter Gunn riff.

so I’m playing with an electric guitar and usually i can hold it fine when i got my forearm on the body and the thumb supporting the fingers on the frets. but when im doing this exercise there’s a part where you have no fingers on the fretboard. for me this kind of loosens my grip on the guitar and then it goes to something like a 45 degree angle from my body and gets a pretty hard to play the riff. I’ve found that if i rest my elbow on the body i can play with a better grip on the guitar but im assuming that’s probably a bad habit. idk. is there something im doing wrong here? please let me know. thanks yall :>
