A good exercise that players can use to develop solid alternate plucking technique is to perform four sixteenth notes on each string working vertically across the string sets. Always begin with the same finger on the way up . When descending alternate between index and middle.
When it comes to two-note chords, rest the thumb on a lower string and pluck notes with index and middle fingers. For three-note chords (or four-note) use the thumb for the lowest pitch (similar to classical guitar technique).
Remember:Really, there is no right or wrong way to choose which finger plays which note.Generally, it is best to alternate plucking fingers. When you pluck a string, draw your finger across the string, rather than pulling it up away from the body. When your finger releases the string, it should come to rest against the next string (unless you played the lowest string).
Here is a little video for your practice
