Upwards and onwards. So far we've done open one and two, and then we did a reset. Now, we're going to introduce the third finger and the third finger slightly different than what we've done before our nut and our first finger was about an inch and our one and our second finger was about an inch away. And that was really similar to each other. Third fingers gonna be different, or third finger is going to be right next to our second finger and I'm going to bring this a little closer to the camera so you can see just how close that second finger and the third finger are. Now when you're an adult playing, and you can see my fingers are pretty average size but some adults have much thicker fingers.
Than I do. And for those people, in order to get this in tune, you'll want to ride your third finger right on top of your second finger and then slide it off the second finger and then it'll be in tune, or else they'll be too big of a gap there. But folks for medium sized fingers, children, or gals that have slender fingers, you'll definitely see a gap where you won't see a gap in my fingers because I have pretty average medium sized fingers for a male. So for slender fingers, you might see something more close to that. But you'll see me kind of button my two fingers together where they're actually touching and being squeezed together. Okay.
Now we're just going to get our third finger and tune for this exercise. But how we're going to do that is we're going to get our first finger in tune. Then our second Finger it tune. And then I'm going to play the third finger for an extended period time, so that you can get used to that tone. And then just just played a bunch of times. And when you were playing it a bunch of times, make sure you take your third finger off, and then put it back on and plant, take it off, put it back on a plant.
When we're doing this exercise, we're going to make sure that our first fingers down our second fingers down all the time. And when I'm playing the third finger and lifting it up and not playing, and then lifting it back down and then playing, lifting it up and not playing with my bow and then setting it back down. I want to make sure that these two fingers the first finger and the second finger down as well, and they're in their proper places. So this is why we're going to play the first finger first, second finger, and then the third finger followed by me playing a long, long long three fingered out on the A string has a D node by the way. And so we're just gonna have a string in tunes that sounds like this play with me. And then the one your one down while you set the second finger down and now the third finger for a while.
Okay. In the next lesson, we'll be using In our third finger a lot. So we'll see you in the next lesson.
