Notes
=====

pipipmiamaimpipi.16 notes pattern
 
Technically demanding for both left and right hands.
How to go fast? Work in groups. ie break into 4s. 
(pipi-pmia-maim-pipi). If you are like me, "a" is the weakest.
Loop pmia-maim. Try accenting "a" finger. pmiA-mAim. 
I prefer to play this etude PiPi-PmiA-mAim-PiPi. Accent on P and A. 

Suspend bass. Dotted Half Note (Minim) or 3/4 of bar
Repeat each measure twice except [23-24] and the last 3 measures.

Bar[5]-[6] Watch left fingering for Em(1st inversion) to E(1st inversion)
Bar[12]-[22] Half steps down for each measure
Bar[29]-[30] Repeat these 2 bars twice. Chords change every half measure
Bar[23]-[24] 9 consecutive pull offs. Hard. I added alternative below
Bar[31]-[32] To play harmonics quickly between fret12 and fret 5.
Spread your hand and lightly barre bottom 3 strings with pinky and index

Alternative

Bar[23]-[24] (Sevogia's version)
