What are the notes to rolling along on violin?

The notes used for "rolling" on the violin are:

1. The notes of the G major scale: G, A, B, C, D, E, and F#.

2. The notes of the D major scale: D, E, F#, G, A, B, and C#.

3. The notes of the A major scale: A, B, C#, D, E, F#, and G#.

These sets of notes are repeated in increasing and then decreasing patterns to create a rolling, ripply effect. The right-hand fingers are used to rapidly switch between the notes, and the bow is moved quickly across the strings to create a legato sound. The rolling technique can be used to add embellishments to melodies, or as a stand-alone improvisation technique.
