Im trying to learn third/forth position but can't quite get the notes down. I can make the jump but after the first note I'm lost. Any suggestions for a good chart or other method to nail this? Thanks

Hi Ripton,
I also just began with 3rd position a few weeks ago. First assignment from my teacher was to go learn the names of the notes in 3rd position on each string.

This is the book I'm using:
