Guitar
The guitar has a fingerpicking notation system derived from the names of the fingers in Spanish or Latin. They are written above, below, or beside the note to which they are attached. They read as follows:
| Symbol | Spanish | Latin | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| p | pulgar | pollex | thumb |
| i | índice | index | index |
| m | medio | media | middle |
| a | anular | anularis | ring |
| c, x, e, q | meñique | minimus | little |
