hand position

[iommi]

Never reeally cared to ask.In what hand position do u play Major,minor.............. Should i use home base like i do for barre and power or just play in pentatonic position which i do anyway??

"Home base position" and "pentatonic position" are my terms that I use in the left hand position lesson. So if you are talking to anyone else, they will not know what you are talking about............these are not universal names. For basic open position chords you can bring your thumb up a little on the back of the neck for balance. For power chords and bar chords you will need to keep your thumb lower.
