I was making an attempt to learn/play a Dave Matthews tune..
( Ive also seen it in other songs )
and noticed on one guys rendition on youtube....the thumb is gripped around the neck to hold down the E string for a bass note...
so what do you do if you have small hands and cant get the rest of the chord when the thumb is on the E?
I have little hands and often have a hard time stretching to get certain chords
