 Finally, I notice that many of the players who change postions effortlessl=
y also hold the LH thumb mover over the edge of the fretboard. I think it m=
ight lessen the friction which might slow you down when shifting. But I hav=
ent been able to keep the thumb up in my own playing. -- Paul K http://www.=

I just realized that if I sit in the normal poisition with guitar on lap th=
en I play with the left hand thumb in the higher position as well as lean t=
oward 3 fingerdom.
Usually my guitar neck is at a 45ish degree angle on a strap which facilita=
tes chord work for me.

The position I play(sit /stand) seems to dictate the ideas I get oddly enou=
gh, but
I'm more interested in Chords/Voice leading etc. so I mainly keep the neck =
high.
