Very helpful, Lauren, thank you! This is one of the problems I run into most often.

Marvelous lesson. If you slur 2 fingered notes (in other words, not open strings) that are a *perfect 4th* apart, do you bar the left hand on the fingerboard, or use 2 different fingers?

Excellent explanation, what if you have to play on a non-adjacent string, like passing from G to A?
Thank you!

[@MrAh1123581321]

Play it on the D, or skip that part and hope nobody notices.
