                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It'll come with practice... make sure you're using more then one finger and DON'T use rest-stroke (which is when you rest your finger on the next string after striking the string).

On the contrary. Practice chromatic scales with rest strokes at a metronome setting that you can maintain without making any mistakes. Practice tuplets, triplets, quadruplets. So 1,2 on a single note through the scale then 1,2,3 on the single note and on through the scale etc. This should be done very slowly. It is tedious but it will help you to gain control over your fingers. When you start using free strokes on the same chromatic scale, you will appreciate the time you spent.<br><br>Another simple finger exercise is to play E1234 this can be in any fret pos.<br>                                                           A1234<br>                                                           D1234<br>                                                           G1234<br>                                                           B1234<br>                                                           E1234<br>The point of the exercize is to plant your fingers once you have picked the note and <U><B>don't move it until it is time to place it for the next note on the next string</B></U>. This is important. If you don't follow those instruction exactly, it blows the whole point of the exercise. Namely, finger independance.]]></content:encoded>

For arpeggiated stuff, the standard arrangement you have works, but you want to alternate (usually between i and m) on single note lines.  I find that using 'a' is helpful for string crossings, but I'm quite the beginner so take what I say with a grain of salt.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Lately I've been working on some classical-style fingerpicking. The problem is, some of these pieces rely on rapid fire single note lines, which are meant to be articulated (as opposed to being played legato). How do I get these up to speed? The standard fingerpicking style I use (thumb on the bass strings, index finger on the G, middle finger on the B, etc.) just isn't fast enough... <br><br>Any ideas?]]></content:encoded>
