Shifting Study # 2 — One Octave A-String Climb
Challenge: (After performing Open A), shift to each pitch with the 1st finger.
Remember to perform A Melodic Minor Accidentals.
Congratulations! You have now traveled through 7 Positions!
The index finger is known as the GUIDE FINGER, and is tasked with the responsibility of doing exactly that, guiding all shifts.
Positions get their number by the location at which the first finger is placed on the string. Remember, excellent form brings success!
