Like the person above me, it depends on what octave your wanting to play in!. You can play one in 4th position on the C string with your 4th finger, or shift up to play it with 2ed or 3rd!.

On the G string you can play Bflat in first position with your 2ed finger!.

On the D string, you can play one in 4th position with your 2ed finger, or with your thumb on the A harmonic and first finger Bflat!.

And finally you can play a Bflat on the A string with a low 1st finger!.

I hope this helps alittle!. =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
