arpezh speed

what's the best way to improve the speed of arpezh? or i,m apiando?

Hi Mehdi,

I've found the best way to practice apoyando is to perform short sharp drills using scales. I would start off slow and increase the speed and then the reverse.

I would also use a metronome and work on different notes for the same beat i.e. say the metronome was set at 90 m.m. I would play the scale using crotchet or quarter notes. Next play the same scale using the same m.m. but using eighth notes, then 16th notes etc until you reached your limit.

You can always slow the base speed until you can play the scale easily then move up a notch or two.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
