Spanish Arpeggios and Trills

An étude is a short musical composition designed as an exercise to improve a specific technique or demonstrate a particular skill.

This arpeggio exercise was a section from a mediocre song I wrote years ago. However, I feel this riff is better served as an exercise to work on chordal arpeggios and trills. The wrist flexion during the latter major shapes is tough stuff!

I like these types of lessons because they’re musical — rather than playing random scales and chords.
