Hi, I am trying to learn how to do thumbs chords.
My problem is that I am having a hard time making it play nicely. First, my thumb articulation hurts a bit and after practicing this chord I feel like the tip of my thumb is a little numb (the light articulation pain only happens while I play).
Today I noticed that if I stretch my hand a bit I am able to make the chord sound nicely. I was wondering if the stretch that I do could end up hurting me and if you have any tips on this technique. What I do is the following. I make the chord but I leave the middle finger out. Then I gently push the guitar towards my wrist and the thumb towards the body of my guitar for 10 seconds. After that I gently release. Do you think I am going to hurt myself if I do this stretch every day until I can do the chord naturally? Link to picture of me doing the chord: https://ibb.co/N3RQVCw
