String Twisting

This is a technique borrowed from flamenco guitar in which a string is twisted over the adjacent string at a point on the fingerboard to give a buzzing sound.
The pitch is raised by roughly a semitone from the twisted position.

Dynamic Range: pp-ff
Difficulty: 2
Special Notes: Particularly effective col legno.
