For something like the image attached played on guitar, I would slide up 
as far as possible on the 2nd string starting at the C, then make as 
elegant an arrival on the high G as possible.  This sort of stuff 
happens with some frequency in guitar music and sound pretty good.

I have no idea how you do that across four strings on a violin. :)
