Is there a difference in left hand grip between folk and classical guitar? If so, how do you hold the left hand on a folk guitar?

Yes, the classical guitar's hand shape is based on relaxation, so the palm of the hand is hanging in the air, but the folk guitar is mainly based on the fingers on the strings, so the wrist is not relaxed, in short, the classical guitar hand shape is a little bit of a curved folk guitar hand shape is relatively straight

Left hand stringing:

Stringing must be in place, the first finger and the fretboard perpendicular to the strings, the four fingers should be almost a straight line parallel to the plane of the fingerboard before pressing the string. All four fingers should be pressed so that the fingertips are almost always in a straight line parallel to the plane of the fingerboard. Start with a solid press and hold it down close to the taste

well. Then each finger gently releases, but still presses, and later, when you've mastered it, you can lift the finger (off the string). Repeat this process over and over again, and gradually you will be able to find each of the different common

chords accurately and quickly.

The practice of chord transitions requires attention to the rhythm and fingering of the right hand. If you can't get the right hand to pick the right chord, check to see if there is a problem with your posture.
