Recently, when playing chords on my beloved Fylde Bouzouki around the 2nd and 3rd frets (is there anywhere else to play chords!!) I've encountered a slight problem with my hand position.
The skin at the top of the palm, just below the 'crease' where my first fingers joins the palm, catches on the first course of strings. I haven't noticed this before, and I don't think I've changed my hand position much lately. So, maybe my palm is swelling!
I am aware that my thumb, when in a comfortable position, is well over the far edge of the neck, with the crease of the knuckle slightly above the edge.
Any thoughts on how I might adjust my hand positon to rectify this problem - which only seems to have happened a year into playing the zouk?
