A-M-I

When studying classical guitar we spend many hours working on tone production and dynamics created from the right hand. 

To keep things simple I often teach early classical students to focus on alternating between index and middle fingers using either rest or free stroke for scale practice and in musical  passages.

This scale exercise however involves the ring finger (a) which is more often associated in the early stages of technique development with arpeggios.

Due in great part to the fact that this scale  consists of three notes per string it is a perfect opportunity to involve the ring finger in scale work.

I like to use a-m-i and free stoke with this exercise.
