The image above shows good right hand wrist positioning. The outside of the wrist should be close to straight. This will allow the tendons of the hand to move freely and quickly.

The illustration at right shows poor wrist position. The wrist is bent too far. This can cause difficulty playing and even, over time, trouble with the tendons.

   

A Note about the positioning of the right hand: This is just a recommendation. Different people do play differently and you should always be comfortable when you play. Do not sacrifice enjoyment of playing in an attempt to achieve perfect form.
