Right & Left Fingers "Identification"

by Sandy
(Philippines)

I would like to know the fingers' code identification. Hence I am able to read and to use rightly my left fingers to their corresponding code in the music exercises.

Your reply would deeply be appreciated.

Hi Sandy,

In classical guitar music they use numbers for the left hand i.e. 1 2 3 4 where 1 is the index finger, 2 is the middle finger, 3 isthe second last finger and the little finger is 4.

On the right hand they use the letters "P I M A" where P is the thumb, I is the index finger, M is the middle finger, A is the ring finger.

You can see a picture of what I mean here...

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
