When I do that, the neck goes all over the place. how do you keep the neck from moving around? I try anchoring the body of the guitar and then my strumming goes to crap :(
I'm confused about keeping a straight wrist versus having curl in the fingers. I can only do one or the other, though I see almost every other guitarist able to have both at the same time. My wrist has a mild ache on the backside now. I have short fingers. I don't know how to keep the wrist straight with thumb on the middle of the back of the neck while being able to have curled fingers and applying enough pressure to ring the thickest strings. I lose finger control if I move my thumb too far up. My wrist bends and strains when I move my thumb too far down. Can you help?
I'm sure I can help you find a solution. Would you be able to send me a video or message on Instagram? It's so much easier when I can see. Scott.guitar.teacher Or you can send an email to scott@scottguitarteacher.com
Thanks for the video it is impossible for me to play like Jimmy hendrix lol like you say i can't move my fingers. I usually play with the corect hand position but have trouble reaching the f note do you have any advice or stretching exercises to manage to play easier on the first fret thanks
I can play an f barre chord but its hard to reach if i am sitting up straight so i have to lean down a little bit it would be easier if i could all the notes in the same position lol.

This worked- I can finally stretch across the fret with small hands. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped. Don't forget to share with your small handed friends!
This was terrifically helpful, Thank you!
You have a great sense of humor, it’s genuinely refreshing. Dropping a sub
Thank you, I really appreciate it

I thought Hendrix was fretting bass notes with his thumb. He had huge hands.

There are a few things that could make it difficult. You can send me a photo or video on social media if you like and I’ll see if I can help
