Hand Placement!

This is a photo that I took for a lesson example of proper hand placement (not 
exactly the best picture, but it gets the point across, I hope).
The thumb rests on the back of the guitar neck almost directly across from
the middle finger. The palm of the hand is close to the neck of the guitar enabling
the fingers to be at an arc in relation to the frets (the horizontal metal strips).
This is considered the first position, and all that really means is that the index finger
plays notes on the first fret and the hand stays in that position.
