	The strokes are made with, the first or index finger, which must be per­fectly limp, and as though it had no bone in it whatever. It must hang down­ward over the strings using the nail for the down stroke and the cushion for the up stroke. The Roll Strokes The downward roll. A sharp quick flick of the strings with the finger­nails and the cushion of the thumb will give the desired tone. It is essen­tial that absolute flexibility of the wrist be attained,and the exercises which follow must be assiduously practiced to bring this about .The downward roll is made by striking the strings with the nails of thefin- gers respectively and followed by the cushion of the thumb.
