  A QUESTION TO CAPTAIN KIRK - Playing with the thumb

Dear Sir

I'm learning your song arrangement "UNCHAINED MELODY" and i really am loving it !!!

I'm at the 13th measure of this song, where i have to hold the F-chord, and the tab says to pick the 1st fret of the low "E" string. In the video you fret it with the thumb, and i feel that is would be a good technique to learn. how does one do that sir ????
(An alternative to this , ie playing a barre chord is possible, as my friends over here have already suggested)

No matter how hard i try , my thumb cant reach and fret the first fret, will it take time to become flexible ??? (i can fret the 2nd fret on this string with the thumb easily though)


Please reply sir ...

kind regds

No one can master every aspect of guitar playing, they just get better everyday.
