Good deal!

[quote=snpfarm]Isn't it better to hit the strings over the sound hole to get the best sound?

It depends on what kind of timbre you want. Playing closer to the bridge does produce more treble & less bass (twangy). When I want more bass or to play notes on the lower strings I move my hand a bit off the bridge to rest on the body of the guitar above the bass strings. So my arm is still anchored on the guitar body.

And I've worked on technique enough so that I can play accurately with my hand freely strumming over any area of the strings.

Keep working on it! Hope that helps!
