Apoyando Technique

This technique will be used throughout the exercises, so practice it carefully as it will help you to develop independence and strength  in the fingers later on. See the figure

Fig 4

The technique can be used on all strings but in this case we will use it on the 2^nd string

Step 1. Put your index(i) on the 3^rd string like the illustration  and then pluck

Fig 5

Step 2 : after plucking the finger should rest on the 2^nd string

Fig 6

Step 3: middle finger (m) on the 2^nd string and pluck as you plucked with the index and rest this finger on the 3^rd string also

Step 4: repeat  this a couple of times
