Hello lovely people, I am probably stretching my self more than a little here but I really want to be able to play at least a few bars of this piece. It is the piece people hum whilst playing 'air violin' to denote their unsympathetic stance towards your sad sad story. I know it's probably violin cliché No.1 but I can't resist.

Using the page shown below; 

http://www.musicnotes.com/shee.....=MN0085261

Starting on the second line as that is the bit I am interested in I so far have;

A1 E2-1-0 A3-0-1-4-3 D3-4-3-2 A2-1 

Which I can play badly without the slurs, however I'm guessing this isn't correct as I don't sew how it is possible to play E-D-G-A in one bow stroke with the above fingerings.

 

Could someone please help me out? Is this another one of those 2nd position situations?

 

Cheers,

Sam.

You can play E,D, G and A in the first position using 3rd and 4th finger in the A and D strings.

It's more the string change that troubles me rather than the amount of notes dazed

Of course you can do it in one stroke. I would at least use a 4th finger A so that there is only one string crossing.

Jolly good I will crack on practicing then. I am using my 4th finger, the string change just sounds so bad I wanted to check I wasn't woofing at the wrong pot plant!

LOL. I love your expressions. Keep on woofing your pot plant and have a jolly good crack practicing then. How was that?

Well, I think I can learn more expressions here than I can from my kids Springer.
