Let hand poistion

Just a quick question to get some feedback, When I play an open C chord often times the upper part of my palm just below the fingers tens to touch the high E strings Seems difficult to lift up to avoid that, Any suggestions, I have been playing off and on long time but has alos been somewhat of an ossue

Thanks

The only things I can suggest:-

Make sure your thumb is behind the neck.

Use the very tips of your fingers.

Curve your fingers as if holding a tennis ball.

Cut your nails very short.

I love a William tutorial. Too stuff

I have a similar experience with my new nemesis chord A7. It's slightly different in that it seems to be a fairly obscure chord. I've only seen it once. However, it is difficult for me to play without a bum note in there somewhere, so for that chord only I have to tilt the guitar up in order to play the chord cleanly. While William has expertly covered hand/thumb position, it might also be worthwhile experimenting with repositioning the instrument.

Maybe not, but perhaps something to have in your arsenal of possible fixes.
