Do I need nails for this to work? Yes and no.

If you have nails, your strings will sound louder. If you dont have long nails, your strings will sound softer. The muscle memory for this, however, is the same for both long nails and short nails. If you want to grow strong, healthy nails, I recommend you use jojoba oil on your cuticles (daily) http://amzn.to/2wNolh5

P: Pulgar - Thumb

I: Indice - Index finger

M: Medio - Middle finger

A: Anular - Ring finger

Funny how we dont call it a "thumb finger," but we do add the word "finger" to the ends of the other ones. Anyway, lets continue! You will assign each of your fingers to a string. Each finger MUST ONLY pluck the string that it is assigned to!

String G - P

String C - I

String E - M

String A - A

Or think about it this way:

String G - Thumb

String C - Index

String E - Middle

String A - Ring

I know that seeing the English names of the strings is A LOT easier right now, but challenge yourself to learn their PIMA names and grow familiar with them, because I will NOT include them in future lessons! (As a teacher, I have to take the training wheels off, so dont judge me).
