In Book 3, we begin by learning High 3, an important finger placement that expands your ability to play in A Major and other keys that require a raised third finger. Learning High 3 will help improve intonation, hand position, and finger coordination.

What You’ll Learn:
???? How to play High 3 – Stretching the ring finger toward the bridge.
???? Maintaining proper hand shape – Preventing hand movement from pulling notes out of tune.
???? A Major Finger Map – Understanding where High 3 appears on each string.

Exercises for High 3:
✅ Hand View, Guitar Style View, and Back View to visualize proper placement.
✅ Practicing High 3 on G and D strings, where it falls above the third tape.
✅ Switching between Regular 3 and High 3 to strengthen intonation awareness.

Learning High 3 will prepare you for more advanced keys and improve your ability to adjust finger spacing with precision!
