{{Short description|Method of plucking used in classical guitar}}
{{One source|date=March 2026}}

'''Tirando'''<ref>{{cite web |title=How To Play with Tirando Technique (Free Stroke) |url=https://www.classicalguitaracademy.co.uk/tirando-free-stroke/ |website=classicalguitaracademy.co.uk |access-date=5 March 2026}}</ref> is a method of plucking used in [classical guitar](/source/Classical_guitar_techniques) and [flamenco guitar](/source/flamenco_guitar).  ''Tirando'' is Spanish for "pulling" (in English, it is also called a "free stroke").  After plucking, the finger does not touch the string that is next lowest in pitch (physically higher) on the guitar, as it does with [apoyando](/source/apoyando).
