This chapter offers material for arpeggio study suitable for beginners through advanced players. Arpeggio textures are one of the most commonly used textures in music for the classical guitar, and the number of arpeggio études in the literature reflects this. Material begins with simple right-hand arpeggio patterns that make use of sympathetic movement of the fingers between thumb strokes (that is, the right-hand fingers flex together or in sequence, and no finger moves in the opposite direction during the arpeggio pattern) and continues through increasingly complex patterns involving opposed motion among the fingers (that is, right-hand fingers are used more than once in a pattern between thumb strokes), sometimes in combination with an independent voice played by the thumb. The cultivated study of sympathetic and opposed motion will help guitarists design more fluid and coordinated finger movements to enhance their arpeggio technique. |
