In these two pieces, when there is an A note, should we use open string or should we stretch and use the 4th finger? Susan Hollister 3 Responses Posted: July 2, 2019 Last Comment: July 3, 2019 |

Susan, I should have put some finger numbers! I actually thought I had. Nina has all 4th fingers (Eb) on the A string, so the As can be all played open A. In the Kentucky melody the only necessary 4th fingers are in all those measures: 11, 15, 25, 19 where the very last A following the G needs to stay on the D string. Thanks for asking! |

Hi Susan, On my practice with Nina I just used open string, but you can try 4th finger and see which is easier for you... |
