Lesson 44 | The p-i-m-a-m-i Arpeggio & Continuous Flow

Cross the threshold of four-finger coordination by mastering the p-i-m-a-m-i arpeggio circuit within the resonant landscape of C Major.

The Scores

Studio Insights

Sub-Position Mapping

Don't view the left-hand chord as a single, heavy block. Break the full position down into two smaller sub-positions. By engineering your movement to prepare the second sub-position while the first is still sounding, you create a seamless transition and a more fluid musical blueprint.

The Quiet Wrist Architecture

Ensure your right-hand wrist remains stable and quiet; it should not "jump" with the notes. By keeping the wrist still, you allow the fingers alone to drive the pluck, which is the secret to achieving a professional, nuanced tone and effortless speed.

The Proximity Habit

Maintain a symmetrical hand posture by keeping all fingers—both left and right—close to the strings at all times. This minimizes the friction of travel time and provides the steady foundation needed for the complex p-i-m-a patterns to come.

The Play along

I've found that at the begining of the learning journey it can be very helpful to have a recording to follow along. Remember that you can easily change YouTube video playback speed on any device by clicking the settings gear icon, selecting Playback speed, and choosing a different speed from the menu, or even setting a custom speed.
