No. 4 – Basic Arpeggios, Balance, and Planting from my 20 Favorite Exercises for Classical Guitar – For beginner to intermediate classical guitarists. Includes: notation, TAB, fingerings, practice tips, and video lessons. YouTube Lesson Link

This exercise, No. 4 – Basic Right Hand Arpeggios covers five basic patterns with four of those aiming to even out the balance in your right hand. Each finger is given a chance to be the prominent voice. I talk about how to practice the arpeggios and then go into a lesson on planting for classical guitar. I discuss three types of planting: full, partial, and sequential planting.
