All suggestions are great, but push the neck away from you so that its at a 30 degree angle. The problem we beginners have is that we need to see what we're fretting which causes us to pull the neck close so that it's almost horizontal with out bodies. Pushing it away from you may relieve the pain, if not eliminate it alltogether. It did for me, but you have to learn to play by feeling and not sight, which is the ideal and goal for many of us anyway. :)
