Have you ever noticed the way an inchworm moves? It seems to contract and then extend its body to move forward. We will apply this same principle to position shifting. When shifting to a higher position on the fingerboard, bring your left-hand index finger in towards the middle finger. This will help your hand to relax just before the shift. Your eye should be focused on the fret or position to which you are shifting Practice this concept very slowly, making all the moves happen very quickly.
