Nice approach - when you want to imply G chord play melody on E string so by virtue of fretting the open G rings - then want to imply D, move melody to B string that naturally mutes the G string and the low D string rings more With A just play chord down the neck Also really helps to be in open D tuning
[Violin Line 2 - relative to capo - note you can add trills and hammer ons and pulloffs and sounds great stick to right string though for each chord] *mute with heel of hand whilst still playing snare
