The fingernails of the right hand may pluck the strings in a motion away from the string called a "free stroke," or play more "into the strings" with a motion ending with a rest against the adjacent lower string called a "rest stroke." Rest strokes are more forceful. Although composers may specify "tierando" or "apoyando" for specific passages, the selection of the kind of stroke is normally a result of the dynamic indication.
