Hey everyone. I have been playing (practicing) guitar for 2 weeks. I am trying to learn the C chord and am wondering where I should put my thumb on the back of the neck.

If I put my thumb higher on the neck (closer to the 6th string) I find that I can reach the 6th and 5th string easier but I have to sort-of smoosh my pointer finger down to get to the second string. Conversely, if I put my thumb in the middle of the neck, it takes off some of the pressure from my pointer finger, but then I find it very difficult for my ring finger to reach for the 6th string without muting the 5th.
