Arpeggios in 3:4 time

In this lesson we're looking at a piece of music using arpeggios in 3/4 time signature. We assign each finger on the right hand to one string, with the thicker strings being played by the thumb. This piece makes great use of the time signature to create 6-note patterns for each bar.
