unless you want to sound the low E string, putting your thumb on it should be alright...but i'd think that it has more to do with hand size and strength plus accuracy...if you have a smaller, maybe less powerful hand, thumb on the string is definitely better, although i'm not convinced about the accuracy...but i guess it's just something that you can get used to, my experience is that my rasgueado gets messed up if it put my thumb on the E string, instead i always put it on the body, somewhere near the rosette, i can be more effective and accurate that way, but also the reason could be that i have relatively big hands with long fingers... as most flamencos would say, go with whatever works for you, as long as you get the sound right, it really doesn't matter... edit: i'm wondering if i misunderstood something
