This maintains a workout and increases stamina. For the fingers it activates the fast twitch muscles as you go from 4, to 2, to 1 rep per finger combination. Use a metronome which speeds up incrementally to really work those fibers.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: This study is limited to one nylon string but should be practiced on a steel string as well. They are different and require different attack, energy and feel to become 2nd nature. So do not sit there and day dream &#8211; focus on this for very short bursts, concentrating on the feeling in your fingers, muscles and body. And watch the timing of the notes, rhythm is easily led astray here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be aware of both hands<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Pluck down<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are technically pluck downs, your LH fingers pluck the string down &#8211; and thus produce a loud sound. (Pulling off a string does not!) It should come to rest on the next string. This should be a finger only movement, minimal wrist action involved.<\/p>\n<h2>Want More?<\/h2>\n<p>Click the link below if you want to get faster with your arpeggios.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yKdl-rh\">Micro Study 1 link<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h3>Free Download<\/h3>\n<p>Click the button and save a PDF copy of the dots.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/?ddownload=1738\" title=\"Microstudy 3&amp;4\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-button button-black id-1738 ext-pdf\">Microstudy 3&amp;4<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micro study 4 &#8211; Legato part 1 &#8211; kicks off a new series &#8211; #6stringinspiration &#8211; of short and sweet studies that target very specific musical bars or techniques.
