4C. Position Shifts With Open Strings
"Can't Get Enough" detail 3
Part E of "Can’t Get Enough" features the close position in conjunction with position shifts:
To fret the E on the D string (fret 2) your index finger must temporarily shift from the third position to the second. This isn’t difficult since you’re playing an open string before the E. While picking the open A aim your index finger at the E and fret at the right instant. Then shift from the close third position to the normal third position. These shifts and techniques are most important to play fluently at higher tempos. I really recommend to practice them thoroughly from the very start.
