Hand Positions
The positioning of the hands is an important part of guitar playing. The position the student uses will
very likely become a habit within a short time so, it is important that the student choose a hand position
that is both comfortable and practical. It is easier to develop good habits from the start than it is to
correct bad habits later on, so be sure to put enough effort into developing a proper hand position for
both hands.
Left Hand
The main consideration for the left hand position is to insure that there is a good spread between the
fingers. Any position that restricts the movement or the reach of the fingers should be considered a bad
position. The basic correct position for the left hand is described as follows: The thumb is placed on
the back of the neck, approximately opposite the second finger. The fingers are approximately
perpendicular to the string (although the first and fourth fingers are pointing slightly towards the center).
From this basic position you are able to spread the fingers out to obtain maximum reach.
