It should be played with rolling technique.
Always avoid jumping across strings with one finger. It is highly unstable.

This position is more prevalent than one may
expect at first sight. Actually it lets hand's position more relaxed in semi-45
degree "electric guitar left hand position"; as opposed to semi-90 degrees angle left
hand position that is more prevalent in classical guitar. These fingerings could
also be seen as parts of chord fingerings.

This is an important preferences in fingering styles
described in current lesson. However that it is somehow a long jump, it is very
stable. Of course for impractical positions (as in frets lower than 5), other
variations should be used. See the examples.
I classify this type of fingering as
"crossing fingering". It is useful for harnessing wild changes in
left-hand's position.
Suppose that you want to repeat the bar
provided in the
tablature
for unlimited times. Also suppose that you have started on B-string, fret 3. As you see in the tablature
and video, if you avoid
using "cross fingerings", the pattern will crawl the fretboard until it
finds a suitable fingering somewhere between 12th and 17th frets. But if
you adopt "crossing fingerings", the position change will immediately
stop between 5th and 8th frets.
The video includes both ascending and
descending examples for "crossing fingerings".
This is the same rolling technique as
explained in (*) note, but I personally avoid it, since it is
comparatively unstable; however that mastering it is practical.
