I've been playing guitar for one year now. I almost always wrap my thumb around the neck, but when I need to reach far frets I put it behind neck. Few days ago I read in many web-sites that it's better to hold your thumb behind the neck, because you can reach further frets much more easy and etc. So last few days I practised playing in that position. But it is very uncomfortable to hold my thumb all the time behind neck and my wrist began to hurt. I think I put too much preasure on my thumb, but I have no idea how NOT to put preasure on it and I don't understand how to hold wrist. Fretting strings is much harder in that position. I really feel uneasy about this problem. I'm self-tought guitar player, I practise everyday a lot, and now I found that I probably held guitar not right :(
