What arpeggio patterns would you practice if you had a limited amount of time? This is a question I receive from students often. Depending on your level, experience, time, repertoire, there are many answers. To keep it on the simpler side, I propose the following: pim , pmi, pima, pami, pimi, pmim, and finally pimami.
In the following three videos, I talk about how I like to practice these arpeggios. I go over how to warm up, when to use various planting techniques, what I think about as a I play them, what to listen for, how to expand some of them, and how to involve the left hand, hoping to clarify many questions that pop up in lessons.
Get your guitars out to try out some of the ideas as I demonstrate them and let me know if they help.
