What about Giuliani's (mauro not rudy) 120 exercises for the right hand?

Is that only good for the classical world?

I'm wondering because I don't know if I should use them or not for Flamenco

I have a question regarding doing a continuous rolling backwards arpeggio- amiamiami etc..

An example is José Vegas por bulerias, starting at 0.9



Sequentially planting in other arpeggios is working out for me. (By this I mean the next finger to play goes down and is planted immediately after the previous one sounds it's string.)
However in continous backwards amiami I have trouble planting the a immediately after the i plays. It creates alot of tension in my m finger- it wants to flex up into my palm (A few months ago I realised that I have a mild focal dystonia of the right hand, which I am slowly overcoming). If I plant both the a and the m together my hand feels more relaxed and doesn't 'sieze up'.
So I am experimenting, I have two options, I haven't worked out which will be better.
1. plant a slightly longer after i plays (this might limit the arpeggio at higher tempos?)
2. plant a and m together immediately after i plays


Does any one have any experience of what works for them for amiamiami?

what has been working for me is planting A immediately after I plays.

To really bring this movement forward, i practice with a metronome
and putting the main accent on I. That way the plant is basically on
that main accent.

I have also found it helpful to practice AMI with the metronome, and playing
3 against 4.

If you dont know what i mean, its when you play AMI, but the ticks fall on a different finger each time.

Like = A m i a M i a m I a m i A

Thanks Todd. I just tried those exercises, they're good.

I think I will just focus on planting a immediately after i.
Because of my dystonia I can't just plant a, so m will plant at the same time, maybe later I can just plant a.

I am working alot on getting rid of excess muscle contraction, which really limits the speed of my arpeggios. I find that after the finger has played and the following finger has planted there needs to be a moment of relaxation. Making sure that planted fingers are touching/resting but aren't pushing on the string, until they play (this includes the thumb).
