Trying to wrap my head around this...


I'm working on power chords and I'm getting some wrist pain. So after some observation, I realized the wrist pain is coming from my pushing with my thumb up against the back of the neck. As a result i tend to bend my wrist... I guess I'm using my thumb to help with hand placement accuracy? If I rest my thumb length wise along the neck facing towrads the headstock, I feel like the neck floats.... Just wondering what the proper hand placement should be? Sorry about the blurry picture. It's early. :D
