By the way, since I’m having trouble finding the thread on the forum, I’m writing here to thank one of the forum members for the advice he gave me about learning the three-string bouzouki: to start playing on the bass string so that it would “unlock” the ones below it as well. My friend, I’ve been trying it every day now and, just as you said, it really does work that way. Apart from sounding very nice in songs, it also helps with the instrument more generally. I should also mention that at first I thought I would never be able to use this (bass) string. All the best, everyone, and I hope we learn more such lovely things.
