Thank You for the reply it is really appreciated.

Sorry I don’t quite understand when you say “try to place your thumb towards the back

of the neck”

Do you mean drop it down or move sideways. If I move my thumb it feels as though I don’t have any control.

Today has been a bad day I seem to have lost even the very basic ability to hold and play strings 1-3 without catching other strings be it G-A my finger posture is lol wrong and it seems as though I am hitting the strings from the side rather directly on top so the flesh part of my finger is catching the other strings I try to correct it and put my finger tips on the fret but that cause problems with me either leaning or somehow pushing the neck away from my body . All in all believe it or not I am enjoying it but a bit frustrated as to not being able to unlock the key to get the correct position.

I think from an observation point this is were on line tutorial sites have the weakness.With a face to face instructor they can pick up straight away what is going wrong and how best to correct. However I admit it’s “Horses for courses” many people will take to this form of learning as has been proven. It maybe that I am one of minority? For now I intend to persevere. However as asked originally could some explain about the position of my thumb in relation to the back of the neck from the video
