I keep seeing this everywhere in posts around here. I just know this going to be a real stupid question.

It's not how you pick your nose ... It's where you put the booger!
It means "four finger closed position",,which means you take 2 adjacent strings and use 4 fingers to play 4 notes on one and then 4 notes on the other,total 8 notes,do re mi fa sol la ti do,12345678..
Did you hear that whosh that just went flying past my head? HAHAHAHA

Creativity is just doing something wierd and finding out others like it.
No open strings are played, scales, for instance start on a fretted note instead of open string.

And since it’s closed position, the scales are movable up the neck.
Great replies guys! I even did a vid on FFcP at one time.

Yeah... That what I am a sayin too!
I read your links, and looked at the 1st exercise... So this has nothing to do with holding 4 finger chop chords?
This has to do with a really easy way to play scales in any key by using a single pattern that is the exact same for each of my 4 fingers, as well as for all keys?

Maybe not directly. But indirectly, the stretches involved in FFcP will ease almost everything you might want to do on a mandolin fretboard.
Do remember to hold each non-fretting finger over its assigned fret (or at least try!), rather than move the whole hand up & down the neck to make those stretches.

OK... It has now been a week of practicing some of the 1st page of the 'Ionian Mandology' excercises.
This FFcP stuff is amazing! Can't wait to get all 4 patterns memorized this weekend so I can get the whole thing into my daily practice routine. I will use this with a finger stretching routine I think one you kind folks gave me as well.
Thank's so much for this FFcP stuff!
