I just want to hear what everyone here thinks. I tried doing a search and didn't find anything on this, so I apologize if this is an old topic.

What do you believe that the correct fret-hand position should be? I've heard alot about how the thumb should be placed on the back of the neck which allows for greater range of motion and more pressure to be applied tothe strings. But it seems that most of the people I see play with the thumb laying along the back of the neck and just use their thumb for the Low E and A strings. Is it all a matter of comfort, or is there something more to this?

I myself find it hard to play with my thumb anchored to the neck, though it does help for a lot of the chords since my fingers are not that long. Any advice on this? Playing slower until it becomes more natural?

Thanks
