Hi there – I’m no expert nor a doctor, but from what I’ve read/heard/watched what matters most is that you are keeping your wrist at a good angle and position. I have kind of a stubby thumb so I’ve never done the ‘reach over’ for chords and just work hard on my barre chords to make up for my anatomy. My thumb sits basically in the middle of the neck and I try to keep it pointing up towards the sky but sometimes it drifts to pointing towards the headstock. If you have a long thumb and long hand – it probably doesn’t matter much where you have it as long as it’s allowing for your wrist to be in a good position and for you to be comfortable playing!
