Sorry to post 2 topics in such a short amount of time but

In one of my pieces there's a part where *hmmm how to explain this*
2 semiquaver notes
a 5th apart
where you have the same finger needed in the same position on both strings (in this case the D and A strings)
so like playing D then G, and it repeats going down a semitone each time

Above the notes it's got the finger to use followed by =
Does this mean to use the same finger on both strings?
Cause I don't see any other way to play it

Sorry for the confusing explaination!

It might - and I bow to more experienced strings players - mean that you keep your finger pressed down covering the two strings at the same time.......if that makes sense......playing D on the A string using your third finger and holding the finger down on the D string at the same time you will be able to play a G.....so you can play D and G in quick succession because your finger is at both notes

thanks, that's what i thought too
I'll be learning that part of the piece in my lesson next week but i really wanted to figure out how to do it now so i can play the whole piece through.

That's what it sounds like to me, though I'm a bit tired and twisting my brain in knots trying to imagine it from the description

Yup it's A1 of grade 4! I really like that piece.
Thanks for the explaination, it did make sense!
