Method of Placement

Lesson 11/90 | Study Time: 5 Min
Method of Placement

Method of Placement

Place a on the 1st string so that it is perpendicular to the string (photo. 12).

Place p on the 6th string at an angle of 45° to the string, thus forming a right angle triangle as seen in (photo. 13).

Finally, place i and m on the 3rd and 2nd strings respectively allowing them to slope intowards a (photo 14).

Note that the fingers are not straight but are gently curved (photo. 11) and that p is straight and extended away from the fingers (photo. 10).

Assuming that the fingernails are filed and ready for use as described earlier, you should make sure that each finger grips its string tightly between the flesh and nail. This "gripping" is vitally important and you should regard it, together with the above hand position, as a starting point for all right hand technique.
