One of the most simple yet important thing you should know is how to name the right hand fingers. Plucking the strings is never a random thing and there are many guitar scores that suggest both right and left hand fingering. We use numbers for the left hand and letters (from the Italian alphabet) for the right hand. We will name the right hand fingers as follows:

• Thumb – letter “p” (from Pollice)
• Index – letter “i” (indice)
• Middle – letter “m” (medio)
• Ring – letter “a” (anulare)
