Fingerings for measure 15, version 1 is [F] conventional fingering, [D] or tremoloing on the second [A] string.
We have two and [D] three down.
Simply slide those down [Dm] two frets as guide fingers, [A] cross the [Dm] little finger behind the
third finger, and you're all set.
But that triplet slur is very difficult with this fingering because it's a weak combination.
Now, one thing that's going to help you tremendously is to [G] pre-plant, or just plant, the first
finger on the second string at the seventh fret for extra stability.
In other words, here's the [D] problem.
This slur, you just saw it right there when I pulled off.
See the whole string, [G] the strings move?
See that?
[D] The string's moving.
You [Am] don't want that.
That makes that slur very difficult to execute if the [G] string's moving as you're trying to pull [Bb] off.
And remember, when you do a pull off on the inside string like this, you do [D] not just lift
off like that.
Nothing's going to happen.
You've [G] got to pluck the string with the little finger.
It's a left-hand, little finger string pluck.
As I pointed out [Gm] before, you pull into the fretboard, come to rest against the first [G] string.
It's a left-hand, little finger rest stroke, coming to rest against the first string.
That will produce a very clear, loud pull off.
Very nice.
[E] But that's a lot of power going into that pull off.
So by placing the first finger on the second string at the seventh fret, that first finger
is going to help hold the string [D] steady.
Look at that.
It doesn't, the string doesn't move.
It's amazing.
Amazing little trick that you can [B] use.
So you're going [Gm] to plant that right on the and [D] of the first beat as you [A] pluck the E on
the third string.
Plant the first finger at the seventh fret, second string.
[D] Just leave it there.
Do your [E] pull off, and then as you slide down, the finger can come off [D] its planted position.
[Eb] So that's going to help you tremendously.
[D] Plus, having that first finger planted there, [Gb] damp, you can allow it to fall over slightly
to damp the first string.
So if you're using the traditional P-A-M-I right hand tremolo [D] fingering, that gives you tremolo security.
In case you accidentally hit the first string, nothing will [F] happen because you're damping it.
So be [Am] sure to do that plant of [F] the first finger if you're going [E] to use this traditional [D] conventional fingering.
[Dm]
Now, as with the other triplet slurs, the way to practice this is to practice [Em] the triplet slur alone.
[A]
And when you're practicing this, [E] make sure you have your third finger, there it is, third
finger on the third string.
And I would also have the first finger planted on the second string.
[A]
Just do that over and over again.
And again, [Gm] notice when I'm pulling off, I'm snapping, I'm plucking the string with the little finger.
[G] Then add a little bit of context into it.
Again, you'll be [D] planting the first finger over and over again until you're secure with that.
[E] Version two is a non-traditional fingering, measure 15, [Am] melody on the second [Gm] string.
