Pizzicato ( /ˌpɪtsɪˈkɑːtoʊ/; Italian: pizzicato, roughly translated as plucked)[1] is a playing technique that involves plucking the strings of a string instrument.
When only one string is being played at a time, it is referred to as plucking the string.
If you are running your fingers or pick over multiple strings at once to make a chord, that is called strumming.

There two major methods of right hand (for right handed players) techniques namely, either by using a pick (also called a plectrum) or fingers. The plectrum is very common in rock, country and Pop Music, where it is considered convenient for strumming and louder guitar sound. Use of fingers is most common among classical Guitarists and flamenco players, as combination of strings better executed using the right hand fingers, and generally have softer sound than the pick. Other than classical guitarists and flamenco players, use of a pick or fingers is a matter of personal preference.
If you're a beginning guitarist, you've probably seen Eddie Van Halen,Steve Vai and other famous players do a neat trick where they seem to be playing with both hands on the fretboard. It's called "tapping"
