Well, the truthful answer is that there just *isn't* a singular right way. Whatever way works for you and is comfortable is the answer.

Some people hold with middle and index, i.e. Eddie Van Halen

Others hold with both i.e. Steve Vai.

Generally speaking, however, it's a grip just between your index and thumb. And you are generally taught to hold it with just enough force to keep from dropping it.
Back In Black isn't a song. It's a divine call that gets channeled through five righteous dudes every thousand years or so. That's why dragons and sea monsters don't exist anymore.
