The strings all have the same length so variation in pitch is either accomplished by different sting thickness or by different sting tensions. For beginners, it is suggested for you to use a pick or plectrum. Lightly hold it between your thumb and pointer with its pointed end facing the strings. You can adjust the pick angle to perform tremolo or fast triplets. Practice every note on a consecutive down-up cycle.
