What would be the correct way to .......

[mentalextra]

........ play consecutive notes on the same fret but different strings. I am assuming that it would be to bridge the strings.

Example: A little bit of "black velvet" after we play 2 open E we have the next phrase at fret 5 and 4; what would be the correct finger positioning.

Thanks in advance

depends how fast the song is and how the notes have sound? I wouldn't bridge them myself, one you have less control on when the first note ends and secondly it won't be as natural a move to go from barring to moving down the neck afterwards

[mentalextra]

Thats the problem. Control. So how would you play that little bit. Its a fretless so if I try and wedge my fingers I will get different intonation

This is the song the phrase is about 23s in!

I would bridge it with one finger and work on the intonation

I've not played this tune before but I'd probably tackle it something like this...

Ok, chunky old fingers are not helping
