I was trying to do this excersise https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...independence-I/ today but i found myself unable to.You see in order to reach the low E string i have to bend my wrist in a really akward manner (kinda painful too).So I thought that this might have something to do with the way I position my left hand on the guitar.Sadly I cannot upload a picture of it at the moment but I was wandering if someon could post me a photo of where and how should my thumb be resting so I can use that as a guidance to what to do,or to direct me to a lesson about this.Thank you all in advance!

Try crossing your right leg over your left to raise the height of the guitar on your lap, or using a foot stool.
That lesson looks so easy and straight forward, but it makes me feel like I've picked up the guitar for the first time. -------------------- My SoundCloud

mmmm could be that your neck is too horizontal for you in that position..and thus too far.
Bring it up a bit ..slash style or classical style...;just a thought |

Notice that Danilo has the guitar very comfortably set to serve his arm just right so that you don't need to make any extra effort.
Of course at first, it will take a bit of adjusting and playing guitar is not too natural for our hands any way so getting them used to it is necessary. -------------------- Visit my:
