These lines here are the strings. So, this is string one string two string three string four string five string six. String one-two-three-four-five-six. So, it's a mirror like that. It's a drawing, ok. Now, these numbers this is where I push. And, they're numbering my fingers. Ok. And, they're numbering my fingers like this. One-two-three-four. So, it's telling me to put my fingers right there. And, if you can look right here. If I hold it up this way, you can see that's pretty much a mirror of what I did right there."
