Video Transcript

"Hi my name is John Armstrong with expertvillage.com and today we would be starting intermediate classical guitar. Alright at the next one is another one of the Giuliani 120 Studies for the right hand in this particular exercise we are alternating between planting P,I, and A and then P,I, and M once again we are going back and forth between our C and G7 chords. This is a ascending arpeggio patterns so all three fingers in each triplet, in each group of three notes would be planted. For example the 1st one you are playing 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, M,P, I, and A, P, I, and M. Notice on the G7 chord all the 3rd triplet we drop down and we play the G note we be playing the G with the thumb. So it is a little different on that measure there. Put it all together. Remember to apply that downward pressure into the string, releasing the pressure as you roll out the arpeggio planting throughout. "
