It's difficult to describe w/o picture. Also English is not my first language.

Here's a smaller image (D chord, thumb is on the upper part of the neck and it is not straight):

Em is played on the lower strings, so I put my thumb on the upper part of the neck.

Should I move it to the lower part of the neck when I switch to D?

Should I try to keep the thumb straight?
