    The document provides instructions for shifting from fourth position to first position on the guitar. It recommends gliding the first finger back to first position while simultaneously attacking the other strings with fingers 2, 3, and 4. With practice, the shift should become faster and the first finger slide less, turning it into a "flip shift." It then demonstrates the technique by notating a descending G major scale.

    let fingers 2, 3 and 4 attack the fingerboard simultaneously.
    Practice slowly and then GRADUALLY speed up the shift.
    Ultimately, your first finger will only slide a little bit (not all the way to B)
    and it should turn into a "flip shift"
