thumb under / over, difference ?

on: September 24, 2012, 08:56:57 PM

Ive been looking everywhere for an answer to the difference between thumb over / thumb under. I reckon thumbs under is when the thumb goes under the hand and plays the fourth note in a c-scale for instance. But thumbs over?

What is the difference ?
