Greensleeves position 3
Found in: Foundation Songs

Something came up while I was teaching Greensleeves today. For RH position 3, I have always said thumb is on B. I taught a student only the positions the first week, and she came back and said “No, the thumb is on A”. I wasn’t convinced since I have been reaching this for so long. She was right! The point is…always important to relearn from the student side (SHMs) as well as the TTMs. There are differences and you want both perspectives! It is sometimes more vague on the teacher side. I love it when students correct me 🙂

I always name position 3 as “3D” position like 3D movie. Finger 3 on D, then it’s the same for the first and second time through.

I take it from the shape and story angle, e.g. pointer is the main driver. He is pointing up a mountain (black). Fingers 3, 4, and 5 are part of the angled escarpment. Thumb just waggles where he’s needed for the 2 finishes.
