Shuffle difficulty

[Nancy Bitter]

I am trying to play shuffle part of boil them cabbage down. I cannot get my wrist or fingers to reach to play the D shuffle. Suggestions?

Be sure to roll your wrist under the neck away from the violin and make sure your palm is a good distance from the back of the neck. Also try your best to use the pinky on the D note (stopped on the 4th string) and your middle finger stopped on the F Sharp of the 3rd string.

It’s great practice to form double stops over on the 4th string and bow between them.

You would think it be easier being smaller strings on the bottom
