Alright, let's get to our D string or third string D. We've learned some things to be able to let us know what some of these lines and spaces mean. So my lines again we're Every Good Boy does fine. My faces were F, AC, he spells face upside down. Well what happens when I get lower than my lowest line that I memorized something on, and that was every my next one up was f of f AC E. What we have to think about here, when it comes to these strings is that just as In the previous lesson we did open 123, open 123, open 123. My alphabet works the exact same way. And let's make this example that to work out with in my in my musical alphabet, I have A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Now it doesn't go any higher than G. So if, if I went higher than my G allowed, I would simply start again at A, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Well, if I went lower than it, I can simply go all what comes lower than a I can look here and I go one step backwards.

This is a G than an F backwards. Now, if this is he right here. My last note that I've memorized, Every Good Boy does fine. And I go one down to where my open note is, I would go backwards simply and realize that this is a D because I went back one in the alphabet. Now, again, as I went up with open 123, open 123, open 123. My alphabet does the same thing.

And I'm going to clear up some of these circles so that you can see a little more clearly. The next step. If this is d, I'm going to write and D and each one of these I'm going to write in the button the number if this is D. The next note above D, because I'm going up in the scale, I'm going Up on the page, this is going to be E, then f, then G, then A, B, C, D, E, F, G. And this goes on forever. I went up one line or space at a time, and I go, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, ABC, right, and I go down, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, G, F, E, D, C Ba, and that goes down forever as well. So, when we're thinking about notes that are on the D string, now that we know and can figure out some of the notes that are above or below or the staff is, or my cre Memorize the notes.

We're going to find our first string E, our second string a, our third string D. So D is that space under the first line, and I go up one liner space. And if this is open, then what do you think goes here in this space, or in this line, I should say. So this is a space. And this is a line because it's on the line. I go up one liner space, so I add one to it. So this becomes my first finger.

If I go up one, liner space again. I'm going to add one to it. So I'll go Open. Open One, two, And one more is three. So now I know where my notes are on my D string. So from D or the third string, we're going to find it 123.

The third string in, it's going to be open, followed by my first finger. I'm about an inch away from that nut. My second finger is going to be about an inch away from where the first finger is. And now we're finally going to play this third finger of the D string. Now that we're starting to understand that there's a simple mathematical formula for understanding where notes are on a violin, open 123 open 123 open 123 is that opens can only be on spaces and we've learned that before. But what about other notes?

Let's take a look at this. Because some other truths exist, it can be shortcuts for us to be able to try to figure out where notes are on the staff. So again, my staff has five lines 12345 and I have my treble clef. So I can kind of figure out where some notes are ones. And notes I've always drawn this before as an as a dad or a circle. But instead of the circle, I'm going to just stay what the fingers are instead of 123, open 123 open 123 so now these represent the fingers where they are on the staff Notice that my ones are always online.

And my threes are always online. So ones and threes are always online. My two is always on a space, my open is always on a space. My two is always on a space by openness, honest space, my twos out of space, so twos and opens or open twos are always on spaces. So if you have a little bit of trouble being discerning where to put your finger, think about, is it on a line, or is it on a space, and that can help give you a little bit of clarity about what finger to use. And you can always go back to your open strings.

Instead, simply count cup, open one, two or three Alright, we're going to discuss the G string and where to find notes on the G string. In our next lesson
