Alternate Finger Planting for Classical Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is John Armstrong with expertvillage.com and today we would be starting intermediate classical guitar. Alright the next one is another one of the Giuliani 120 Studies for the right hand and this particular exercise we are alternating between planting P, I and A and then P, I and M once again we are going back to and forth between C and G7 chords. This is a ascending arpeggio pattern so all 3 fingers in each triplet in each group of 3 notes would be planted for example the first one we will be playing is P, I and A. Applying downward pressure and then releasing that. Next P, I and M. Back to P, I, and A, P, I and M. Same thing with the G7 chord P, I and A, P, I and M, P, I, A, P, I, and M. Notice on the G7 chord on the 3rd triplet we drop the down and we play the G note we play the low G with our thumb. So it is a little different on that measure there. Put it all together remember to apply that downward pressure into the strings. Releasing the pressure as you roll off the arpeggio planting throughout. "
