Hi guys,
now I'm quite lost here. I have been playing guitar with my thumb being quite high, usually a bit above the fretboard so that you can see it "peeping" from the other side. Yesterday I read a GMC Wiki article about thumb positioning, and it said that the thumb should be placed in the middle of the guitar neck, preferably a little lower, too. So I started practicing that, but then I realised that there are many possibilities how I can place my thumb in the middle of the guitar neck. How should I do this? Photographs would be an extremely good help! And finally, for example in this lesson it can be clearly seen that Mr. Lavendell's thumb is far from the middle of the guitar's neck. How come the thumb should be placed in the middle, then? Or is Mr. Lavendell's thumb positioning incorrect? Yep, I'm quite lost.  -Kristian This post has been edited by Kristian Hyvarinen: Nov 28 2009, 12:54 PM |
