Evan, Good to see you discovered your pinkie can be used in arpeggios. I found that out just over 20 years ago when I was playing the C-major prelude by Bach. I've trained it in all sorts of arpeggios and scales as well. My teacher Eliot Fisk uses it a lot also. Check out also what Yamashita does with his pinkie if you want to really push your technique. I personally wouldn't use it for scales because of the dramatic length difference compared to other fingers. But a well trained pinkie will definitely help you to relax your hand, and will provide a more balanced workout for your muscles. As for the picado exercise, I think you get a good speed. Try to make it more rhythmical and strive to make the notes even as they can be. Your solea video, however, could be better. The rhythm is not clear. You also may wish to spend more time on alzapua, as it sounds a bit heavy and muddy. Nothing a few weeks of deliberate relaxation couldn't fix. Anyway, good luck! Best regards,
