For context I'm on Acoustic 1, still learning to play the Acoustic with aspirations of getting an electric and taking Rock 1 & 2. Anders just taught me about wrapping the thumb around to mute the low E. (I can't mute the A with my thumb as my hands are too small, but I get by with muting A using the fretted finger on the D).

I've held a few of my friends electric guitars and the necks feel way different. Is it still advisable to place thumb pressure behind the neck for fretting on an electric? It feels weird. I would guess its different depending on what you are playing - muting, soloing, rythm.

What are your experiences?
