How to practise this piece
Take it at 77 BPM first, then move up to 96 once the notes sit under your fingers.
What this piece trains
Starting on G under the third finger and crossing D, A and E strings.
Where it usually goes wrong
B with the first finger lands low as B flat; the hand stiffens crossing to the E string.
Does it need shifting?
Range G4–G5; everything stays in first position, no shifting.
Practice steps
- Play G–B alone until the first finger sits cleanly on the A string.
- Play the first three notes without the top G, then add it.
