The Arpeggio
When we play the notes of a chord, one after the other instead of simultaneously, than we are playing an Arpeggio. The word Arpeggio comes from the Italian word Arpa, which means Harp. An Arpeggio is an imitation of the harp.

When you practice your right hand - especially Arpeggios - try to keep in mind that the right hand's wrist must stay loose and free all the time!

In the practice below you have three right hand plucking patterns (see Line No. 1). First play each pattern four times... then add to each pattern an open string bass movement - like on Line No. 2. Then try to add patterns, such as a melody line - like you have on Line No.3.
