Anselmo López (April 21, 1934 – February 14, 2016) was one of the most important bandola llanera players in Venezuela. He is also the creator of the Jalao (Spanish for pull) technique, which applies the technique of classic guitar to the bandola. In jalao, the thumb and index fingers hold the plectrum to pick the melody, while the middle finger is used to pluck harmonic notes in the chord of the melody on the first or second strings. With this technique, Anselmo López popularized the bandola nationally and internationally. He recorded several bandola albums.
