Is it:
1. classical fingers fairly perpendicular when fretting with thumb directly behind using a sort of pinch grip.
2. neck resting between index finger and palm at the knuckle taking weight of neck, with fingers angled more towards the bridge, thumb towards the top at the back of the neck, not necessarily directly behind fingers.
To me, with the first option you have to be careful not to squeeze to hard and you have to work around supporting the neck.
The second option you have to be careful not to mute the A string when moving up the neck changing chords. Less room to stretch.
Im not talking about barre chords here,
What do you guys do?
