Etude 'Allegro' - Basic Membership

-

Introduction

This 'Allegro' etude by Guiliani aids the budding guitarist to focus on several techniques. The aim should be to move towards a tempo of around 110 to 140 BPM. An etude is usually designed or composed to assist a player to overcome a particular technical challenge and this etude is no different in that respect. The purpose of this etude is to develop articulation, speed & accuracy in the right hand with particular attention being paid to arpeggio type patterns. 

Tips:

1. Keep your right hand steady
2. Restrict movement to the large joints of the hand (not too much bouncing)
3. Let your fingertips flow across the strings like a paint brush
4. Don't grab at the strings
5. Try to keep your wrist straight without too much bending
6. Relax

The right-hand fingers used are:

P: Thumb (Pulgar)
i: Index
m: Middle
a: Anular (ring)

Let your fingers fly!
