Guitar Style Pizzicato (chitarra)

Technical Practice
This technique involves using the right hand fingers much in the manner of a classical guitarist. The most common usage involves the right hand thumb and first two fingers although the third can also be used. The thumb and fingers perform a rolling action to achieve a smooth execution.

Notes
The technique can further emulate the sonority of a guitar by combining this technique with nail pizzicato.

Dynamic Range: pp-f
Difficulty: 2/3
Special Notes: Cannot be performed effectively whilst holding the bow.
