First of all, move your thumb up to the slash on your bow (should be next to the frog) and then you put your pinky on the other side of the frog (on the dot if you have one) and your ring finger on the silver box, and your middle finger on the bow, while the first finger lays across, in the middle of touching the bow strings and touching the top

There is the amatuer way which is in a fist and then pluck with your index finger. The other way is still in the bow hold, but you just pluck with your index finger. The bow would be almost straight up.

Pizzicato is a term mainly used in the String Instrument Family - violins, violas, cellos and the double bass. It means to play the instrument without a bow, and pluck the strings.
