What appears comfortable to a beginner often is an arbitrary, spontaneous and temporary thing, without foresight to future progress and overview of other techniques and generally practical posture / planting. Recommending such a random approach as suitable will for the most cases result in a needless odysee of futile and wasted time to the learner. Such a recommendation must be based on fancied natural motorics of the individual, which however do not exist with the typically civilzed human. Instead, about all of modern human´s motorics are being more or less practical habits; becoming most evident during instruction of arts of natural movement like Wing Tsun, in which you´d be surprised to realize how much of clumsy, detouring, overstrained and superfluous habit the average person displays. Many can´t even walk economically and evenly. A good part of patients´ chronical headaches result from exactly that and its long term effects on the spinal column / atlas / scull bearing. Forget about just naturally suiting intuitive approach to defficile techniques like arpeggio or picado. It will only rarely result into actually ergonomic practice, whilst rather send disciples into wasteful maze. Rmn, Nothing should be overly strechted, as strained extensors would counter flexors. But otherwise ( = without exessive separation ) apart thumb from fingers should indeed help for fingers and thumbs individually adequate angle to the strings / planting, and lessening the thumbs muscle apparatus interfering / dimming of the fingers apparatus. So, as long as you stay within muscular poise, the advice given to you by those teachers should be turning out helpful indeed. Ruphus
