      Hey Lane, thanks for the simple riff and for talkin' about 1-2-4 fingering. When I first started trying to play and picked up a book or two I noticed two totally different suggested fingerings - but in different books!! And neither one mentioned the other or suggested that it was ok to use 1-2-4 for what you call the "fat frets". So I was killing myself trying to stretch my fingers and becoming very uncomfortable very fast. Between Roy's first lessons (that give me permission to move my hand position as I fret when using 4 fingers/4 frets - something, by the way, other books don't tell you so the implication is you have to be able to reach all 4 frets at the same time, ouch!!!) and your practical suggestion to consider 1-2-4 in that region, I finally can relax. Thanks !!!!
