14:10-The Wrap Up
Some things to remember:
Names of the fingers on your picking hand:
Thumb= pulgar (p)
Index= indice (i)
Middle= medio (m)
Ring= annular (a)
*The symbols come from the Spanish words for thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers In general, your thumb is responsible for playing the bass strings (strings 4-6). Your index finger plays the third string; your middle finger plays the second string; your ring finger plays the first string. Keep your fingers curved and placed on their assigned strings. Pull in from the knuckle, plucking the string with a combination of the fingernail plus the tip of the finger.
