Book 3 Introduction to the Pivot in 3rd Position In order to increase the range of available notes in a given position, the hand “pivots” on the thumb, rocking up or back along the string. In the 3rd Position pivot, the thumb remains in its resting place in the heel of the neck The fingers must stop the string independently. The hand carries the fingers to the next location, and it is neither desir- able nor necessary to stretch the fingers to reach for the notes. Please do not drag the preceding finger along the string during the pivot. The pivot is indicated by a dash (~) between fingerings.
