C with our third finger. So, by this point, you should be comfortable with playing those notes up and down, playing the melody "Mary had a Little Lamb" and reading them. Remember, recall that for our E string so on the first, the lowest ledger line we had F in that space below it. The first line, then we had G as the first line.
