Now we're ready for the second line of Twinkle twinkle little star. Let's get on it. So we're going to break up these notes first to get a good understanding of what they are and how we play them. The first two notes of my second line, so this is my first line, and this is my second line. The first two notes of my second line are to open A string. So open, open, and these are a notes a, a or second string, second string.

From here on out, we have these sets of notes here, all on the D string. So I can find my lowest note which is an open on my D string and I count up 0123. So I use a third finger and a third finger on these two notes because they're the same I use math upwards here, I 10123. This time we're going to use subtraction. So if these were two notes were threes, and I marked them up here for us. If I go down one line or space, I subtract one.

So these two notes that we see are twos. So subtract one from three, I get two. Now these two notes are one space or align away from these two notes, which are twos if I subtract one from them, so I subtract one to subtract one equals one. So these two notes are ones, make sure that they're on the right spot. One and one. Okay, so so far, I have opened open 332211.

And we're going to play those I want to play it as an example first, and then the second time, you'll join in. After a quick count, so here's an example. Three to a little slower than I played, and I'm playing the mandolin. bom, bom, bom, bom, sir for the bad thing, but you get the idea. So each one of these notes that I see I'm playing a bow for so down bow up bow down bow of bow. down bow up bow down bow bow.

Also, some folks tend to get confused. When they see a three and a three together, and some, it's easy to say, well, that's 33 tend to think instead, each individual note or number that you see is its own number. So this is a three by itself. And that's a three by itself. And these two together are not 32. It's a three by itself and then a two by itself.

These notes that are over here, on this side of the page, repeat themselves over again. So I went open, open 332211. And can you see the pattern open, open 33221, open, open 332211. So happens all over again. Open a open a third finger on the D string, third finger on the D string, or the third string, second finger and then one one is what we end up with I'm going to play this second line all together as an example. And then I want you to go ahead and try to play along with me when I get all the way through it, and then we're going to, I'm going to have a quick count.

And then we come in together. We're going to play each one of these notes together. And as soon as we get down to this note, we immediately have to with our bow, switch strings, and go back to the A string, and then switch strings here again, to go down to the D string on the third string. Here's our example. Slower Three, two, One. All right, great job.

In the next lesson, we'll be playing both of these notes together and learning a quick trick so that we can play the whole song all together from beginning to end.
