If it were part of a melodic line, I'd probably avoid the open-string harmonic, too. Not just for the reasons mentioned, but because it is often much easier to play with a sustained sound, with shifting of the consistent 1-4 handshape, instead of switching from 1-4 to 0-3 as needed for the open st

Continue with the P4-above notation. It's perfectly normal and acceptable to use it for open-string harmonics, and in this context anything else is more unwieldly. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randolph Peters > Sent: 11 Septemb
