I, on the other hand, let the front of my thumb rest on the middle of the guitar neck, and it kinda points towards the head of the guitar at a 45 degree angle....can this hurt my performance and ability to learn to play faster? ill try to find a digital camera to show you all how i hold my thumb on the guitar....

I usually have my thumb on back for standard playing and curled over for chords/acoustic like parts. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
