Right hand position When the thumb of the right hand is used, it should not change the basic relaxed position of the hand. To find the correct position for the thumb, relax the hand and place the fingers on the strings in the following manner: index on the third string, middle on the second string, and ring finger on the first string. Without moving these three fingers, let the thumb fall to the fifth string. By convention, the first string of the guitar is the highest sounded string.
