Thumb over the neck or behind it—which should you actually use, and why? In this live Q&A, I break down the thumb-position debate in a practical, no-guilt way (including when “either is fine”… and when it really isn’t). We also cover finger-flexibility exercises, sore wrists and backs, string-change timing, fingernail length for fingerpicking, easier-on-the-fingers strings, a handy tabs/video setup tip, plus a fun little flamenco technique.
Let’s do it again next month:
