How can you fix your technique in that pesky passage in Paganini?? I will try to answer by showing you my favorite ways to practice 3rds. We'll also discuss the various technical challenges and best practices.

====================
*CORRECTION* - I misspoke about intonation systems. I meant to say that Pythagorean is the alternate system to Just Diatonic, not the same! As mentioned, you are encouraged to investigate the art and science of string intonation further. Here is my friend @Violinna doing a very good explanation of these two main systems that we live in, and how to navigate them.

*Something I didn't mention in the video is that you'll realize, when doing the Separate Voices exercise with any adjacent 3rds, that you're essentially playing 2-note scales with 1-2 and with 3-4. I made a video dedicated to two-note/two-finger scales that will greatly help your coordination and recognition of these shapes.
