	Your right hand's thumb called- p After positioning your right hand move your arm and palm closer toward the strings. Than relax of your p (thumb) so that it lies in its' resting position, which is your p zero point. Remember, the p and its joining muscles should be loose and free, always! Make sure that your thumb is never locked by its muscles.
	The p plucked From its zero point, the p will stroke the string in an ellipse way. It is important to understand that the p will not pluck the string by pushing it down, but rather should stroke the string by passing the ellipse route. After plucking the string the p is now again at it's zero point, ready for it's next action. You can now pluck long time values notes - on string .
	Plucking with my *i, m, a* fingers First, move your palm closer towards the strings. Than see that your fingers: *i, m, a, will meet the sopranos strings - naturally - diagonally, on theirs upper left sides! True, we shall plucked the strings on our upper left side right into the palm's wrist. As you stroking the soprano strings release the last parks of your fingers so that the strokes will act easily. We shall calls this stroke: Free stroke*. Try it ...

The nail setting
Playing with a professional nails arrangement improve the sound and the technical performances possibility. Yet, you can start play without nails settings - but as you progress, you should grow your nails so they will grow past you fingers tip by 1 millimeter.
Than you shall polished it like it is demonstrated in the photo:
Leave a little wall on the left side and sharpen a slope to the right side. The soprano strings will meet the wall (while the basses - the slope) After shaping the nails it is necessary to enter a finishing process: Polish them with delicate sandpaper, gradually changed from 400 or 600 grit to 800 to 1200 ...up to 4800 grit.

Going over those explanations... you must fully understand them, first! Than play cautiously producing slow and long notes so you can lead your fingers correctly.
