F Major arpeggio in 3 octaves An extended hand position If this is too difficult at first then the hand/arm can use a " temporary displacement ", lifting the 1st finger off as the 4th finger plays F Why don't we take the three notes in one position? Because the next group of notes would then require a movement down the string on the 3rd finger. You get much more muscular feedback during position changes made on the 1st or 2nd fingers.		READ ON - descending 3 octave arpeggio This is an excerpt from "Scales and Arpeggios and How to Play Them - 1998" This book was superceded in August 2003 by the publication of "Guitar Playing and how it works". I will leave these pages on-line as they still contain useful information.
