That's How the Light Gets In

That’s How the Light Gets In is the first piece in Level 6, a level that introduces arpeggios as a fundamental right-hand technique. Arpeggios involve playing a chord by breaking it into its individual notes and are essential for creating beautiful, flowing textures in classical guitar music. They serve both musical expression and technical development purposes and should be a regular part of a classical guitarist’s technique practice.

This piece features the four most common arpeggio patterns: PIM, PMI, PIMA, and PAMI. Use the Level 6 Technical Sequence to explore these patterns and learn how to use preparation to perform them smoothly and efficiently.
