Rubbed Sounds

Technical Practice
The strings are rubbed by the fingers or palm to produce a very soft muted effect with some pitch. Moving the hand in either direction will produced the sound.

Notes
The hands can also rub the various instrument body parts to produce a variety of sounds. 

The technique can also be combined with a regular pizzicato by plucking at the end of the swiped motion.
