Without planting, how close are your fingers to the strings before striking during an arpeggio sequence, such as imami? Sometimes my fingers are so close, wedged between the strings, that my nails are slightly touching the adjacent string below.

depends on the speed of the notes. Obviously a fast reset does not allow for wild flinging fingers...but a slow arpegion melody can allow the fingers a lot of room to spread out...if for no other reason than to shake out any tensions. If you can see Nuñez encuentro video, the arps section, he demos slow arps with wide movements for the sake of clarity...but when he goes fast you can't even see any finger movement.

Hope that helps.

Excellent point by Ricardo. Free movement releases tension. It is especially helpful in tremolo. Speed takes care of how far the fingers travel.
