Thumb position above 12th fret

I like to put my left foot forward and right one diagonal to the right and back slightly.(I'm right handed) Than I try to strike a pose like JC, I try to think of it like a battle stance. There's another one I also like to do, I rest the Body of the Guitar on my hip and point it forward and strike a pose. About past the 12th fret its hard for me too, I have to constantly change my thumb position to get the right notes to ring nicely. I can't play like 17+ on the low E without doing something weird. I sometimes wonder if Jumbo frets help with this. Probably why there isn't many heavy riffs played on the lower strings higher up. (I can't think of any now) Maybe you could tap them. When your alone just imagine your playing a show and everyone loves you. The more you do it the more comfortable it will get.

Most of the time my thumb is over the neck(bending stability, base notes, vibrato etc.). I will have to check the specifics when I'm hom.
