Tony
Thank you for the article on 4th position playing. If one is already using 3rd position to play minor tunes, what are the advantages of 4th, or am I going to run into minor tunes where 3rd does not work?(fiddle tunes)   Also since Am is the realtive minor of C, if you played in first position on an A minor tune it will work? Am I playing in a minor key? Or I am I playing in C and it just does not clash with  A minor??  Hope that makes sense. Also I hope this goes to the list, if this goes to your personal e- mail I apologize.
Thank You
Dan
