not sure how to exactly explain in words, i'll have to get back to you on that.

and make sure you have PLENTY of patience when dealing with teaching 4-year-olds. i'm teaching one right now, and although he's very cute, he can get distracted easily which can get frustrating at times. makes me really appreciate my 13-year-old student and my adult student!

Meh... I feel like I would end up using the extra string as a crutch, and unintentionally let go of a lot of shifting techniques that took a lot of time to get down.. but it may be suitable for some players- just my opinion
