RIGHT HAND PLAYING WITH THUMB, FOREFINGER, MIDDLE FINGER AND RING FINGER
The right hand thumb strikes the strings from top to bottom, whereas forefinger, middle finger and ring finger strike from bottom to top (see figures IX and X).
Notice that, as when you strike the strings with a
flat pick, the wrist should not be bent. In addition, when a finger
does not play it should not touch the strings nor the instrument !
On the tablature / stave, the right hand
fingerings not using a pick are indicated as follows :
thumb = p,
forefinger = i,
middle finger = m,
ring finger = a.
the little finger is not used. See figures XI and XII.
