There are eight basic right hand finger techniques: "pi" (thumb pluck outwards), "tuo" (thumb pluck inwards), "mo" (index in), "tiao" (index out), "gou" (middle in), "ti" (middle out), "da" (ring in), and "zhai" 〉 (ring out); the little finger is not used. Out of these basic eight, their combinations create many more. "Cuo" is to pluck two strings at the same time, "lun" is to pluck a string with the ring, middle and index finger out in quick succession, the "suo" technique involves plucking a string several times in a fixed rhythm, "bo" cups the fingers and strums two strings at the same time, and "gun fu" is to create a sequence of sounds by running up and down the strings continuously with the index and middle fingers.
