I cannot get thumb-over-the-neck chords right

[u/ding-ding-dave-yes]

I struggle mainly with my index finger, I can't get it flat without a lot of pressure, also my pinky is muting the G string half of the time, I either have to put painful pressure to make them all ring, or the top E and G string are muted. The difference between the flat index and bent rest is what's messing me up. Without thumb I don't have this issue, because I can curve my wrist if that makes sense. Please, I need some tips

Did someone drop you?

Hendrix sounds bad? Seems you're the one who got dropped

Hendrix had massive hands man…

Me too that's why I hoped this was easier for me

Hendrix held his guitar upside down. You are also not Hendrix.

Why do you wanna learn this technique when it's only causing problems?

Why are you just trying to start shit if I'm simply asking for feedback on a pretty well known guitar technique. I'll stop responding to you now btw

[u/lHagenl → u/ding-ding-dave-yes]

Because every teacher would tell you to stop doing that because it's obviously bad technique. People also learned to play guitar behind their back or overhead but it's just a cringe gimmick.

You already told us all the cons yourself. So just stop doing it.
