ORIGINAL: Ricardo I have an exercise over at FT under the lessons called "arpegios", that focuses specifically on this problem. To be fair to others that took that lesson, let me just describe the problem, rather than give you the exact etude I made up. So you have no problem with triplets, imaP, amiP, etc, where you can end with the thumb on the beat, right? So there is a delay when you get from pima--M I, right? So if you look at the strings there is a problem between the a and m finger mainly (1st to 2nd string). What I did was to make up a piece where the melody moves around on the B string (the m finger) so you focus on the timing of that one note, and STOP on it. Don't play i finger next, leave a rhythmic space there before the thumb plays again. pimaM_, pimaM_, etc each time the M plays you emphasize it and move the melody around. Go slow at first until you get the rhythm. It is still 6 notes rhythmically, but you leave the last note off to emphasis that m finger. Once you can do it fast, you can throw in the i finger and find it is very smooth and easy to do. Hope this helps. PS, that is all FREE stroke, tirando, except for "P" which you do rest stroke. Ricardo Thanks Ricardo, I'll try this out. As for your FT lesson, I wanted to buy it but the minimum deposit is 40$ and I don't feel skilled enough for most of the lessons out there according to the previews, plus I already have a tone of stuff to go through so I'm not too willing to leave 35$ there for no apparent reason. Anyways, thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
