Lesson 65 | Extended Arpeggios & String Spacing
Master a complex 12-stroke p-i-m-a circuit while navigating the "double-open" right-hand span.
Studio Insights
The Target-Practice Protocol
This lesson is a true test of consistency. While the finger pattern (p-i-m-a-i-m...) remains constant, the strings being plucked are in a state of flux. This shifting "melodic map" significantly increases the coordination threshold between both hands. To master this, treat the most complex transitions as individual high-friction zones; by targeting your practice specifically on these challenging segments, you turn a difficult exercise into a professional-grade asset.
Variable Slowness Training
The more complex the synchronization between hands, the more you benefit from what we call "Variable Slowness." Don’t just practice slowly; practice at different levels of slow. This allows you to audit the micro-movements of your fingers at a granular level, ensuring every note is placed with precision before you even consider adding speed.
Sub-Position Flow (Measures 5, 6, 8, 13–15)
While many measures in this piece utilize a single chord shape, certain sections (like measures 5 and 14) feature increased internal movement. Do not try to "grab" the entire change at once. Break these shifts into sub-positions, landing the most critical fingers first. This practice maintains the symmetry of the arpeggio and ensures the music never feels "staggered" during complex transitions.
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.
