The motion of placing the left hand on the strings starts from the arm and the thumb , then ends by pressing on the strings with the fingertips. The pressure on the string starts in placing the finger on the string and ends by lifting the finger ( raising it from the string) after the end of plucking or, more precisely, after the end of the time value of the note. BE CAREFUL : don't relax the finger when lifting it from the string.
