Notation
{{Technique Crumbs|13}}
'''Finger Picking''' or '''finger-style''' is a technique that uses the right-hand fingers to pluck the strings instead of using a pick. This offers a different tone than using a pick, avoiding many of the transients and generally delivering a darker tone. It is also useful to more easily arpeggiate chords as well as playing intervals that do not use adjacent strings.
== Notation ==
Finger-picked guitar notation often includes markings above/below the tab/sheet music indicating which finger on the right hand to use. These take the same form as left-hand fingering for fretting:
