Struggling To Play with Your Thumb Over The Neck?
Struggling with the thumb-over grip on barre chords? ?
You’re probably pressing the string the wrong way.
Most players try to push the string down like a normal note… but this technique is different.
Instead, flatten the back of your hand slightly, hook your thumb over the neck, and think about pulling the string towards you rather than pressing straight down.
That small shift in mindset changes everything. And yep… even if you’ve got smaller hands, this can still work.
