Adding to my previous post.....................

I see now what I'm doing but still not sure what's the best practice.

The melody is played only on string 3,2 and 1.

I play S3 with the thumb.
What I'm inconsistent with are the fingers used to play the notes on S2 and S1.

Sometimes I play S2= 2nd finger and S1 = 3rd Finger ( leaving out the first finger)
Other times I play S2= First finger and S1 = 2nd finger.
Sometimes I alternate fingers on same notes on S1 and S2 and other times I don't.

I think it feels odd because the thumb is playing S3 and the position of the other fingers feel misplaced.

Anyway, it's all a bit random what I'm doing and I think a bad habit so would like to know
what in your view is considered Best Practice?

Thanks

Dermot
