FDC484950 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) One problem with 1-2-1 1-2-1 - you play the third note root with 1 then have to skip two strings to play the octave with the same finger. It just doesn’t make sense in terms of efficiency or getting a reliable technique up to speed. If you are only using two fingers, 1-2-1 2-1-2 makes far more sense, will be much easier to build up speed and will sound more fluid - but may be more awkward at first. It’s like What Is Hip by TOP - start the song on the wrong finger and the octave stabs become very awkward.

chris_b Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I've seen a chart for this song and they indicate 1-2-2 for the fingering. That gets over the octave jump, but even that shouldn't be a problem with enough practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play it any way you can make it work for you, but don't start with the intention to cut corners. What do you mean by cut corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
