_ _ _ _ Hello everybody and welcome to the second part of my flamenco basic guitar [N] lessons at
the Ortega Academy.
As I already told you in the first part, this course starts at the very beginning with the
fundamental basics of the arpeggio or fingerpicking techniques in the style of Paco de Lucia.
In the very first lesson we learned the ascending arpeggio with index, middle and ring finger.
And today I want to show you guys the descending arpeggio with ring, middle and index finger.
You can download all instructions, sheet music, tabs and stuff on my website _ frankstephenbuhler.com for free.
And now pick your guitar and let's get started. _
_ The second arpeggio type in this course is played with your thumb, ring finger, middle
and index finger.
P, A, M and I.
Here is the arpeggio exercise number 5. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ As you can see, we always use planting.
_ Planting means placing [N] the right hand fingers on the string before they play.
_ _ The rules for planting are.
For ascending arpeggios all fingers are planted _ simultaneously.
_ That is called full planting. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ For descending _ arpeggios each finger is planted one at a time.
That's called sequential planting. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [E] Move your fingers always towards your palm.
Like Paco de Lucia.
The palm position is always the starting point of your finger movement. _
The distance and movement from the palm position to the strings is always the same.
_ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] That's the reason why it gives you enormous stability in your finger movement.
With this technique you can improve your hand stability, accuracy and speed a lot. _ _ _ _
_ And now the complete exercise.
Place your thumb on the low E string.
The other fingers I, M and A are in the palm position.
_ While P is playing the low E string the ring finger is planted on the high E string.
_ _ While the ring finger is playing the high E string M is planted on the B string. _ _
While the middle finger is playing the B string I is planted on the G string.
_ _ After the index finger played the G string all fingers are back in the palm [G]
position.
_ _ _ _ Now we can start with the thumb again.
_ Always practice this arpeggio exercise in slow motion and repeat it as often as possible.
And now let's try the arpeggio with the traditional rumba chord progression.
Have [E] fun! _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
I _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ hope you've had some fun with this chord progression.
[N] Of course you can play some solo over it.
