You want just hop with your finger without lifting it.When we have slurs or legato bowing style, we rock with our arm to bring the finger to a new string. You want to release pressure, and then scoot with your finger.For legato style, place the finger in a way where you have enough skin on both strings to get a good tone.In a faster tempo, the movements get smaller. In a super fast tempo, place your finger on two strings like for the double stop.
