	Part III. The Common Stroke.
	There are several different strokes which are effect­ive, in various styles of music. For the present we give only the"Common"or "Ordinary"stroke which is the basis of all the others and must be thoroughly mastered before any of the more complicated are attempted. The Common Stroke is made by dragging the fore fin­ger of the right hand lightly down and up across all the strings at the upper edge of the sound hole. The hand must be relaxed at alltimes, the stroke be­ing made entirely with the wrist which must be perfectly free in its motion. Keep the wrist high. Make the down stroke squarely on the nail of the fore­finger, and the up stroke with the ball or fleshy part. There are two strokes to a beat, Down (marked) and up, (marked) A rest is indicated by a light faced stroke sign and has the same time as a stroke, vizindicates a rest of the samp duration as a down stroke.
