slow it down until you reach a speed where you play every note right

#

then just drill that arpeggios or any other arpeggios you're struggling with a million times

#

at that slow speed

#

your hand is likely uncomfortable or not used to the 1-2-5 on Eb-G-Eb shape

#

and so this is the way to get comfy with it right

#

same advice applies to any other hand shape that your hand is not used to

Thank you

#

oh and actively remind yourself to not tense up

#

if hand is not relaxed then the practice will be 10x less productive

#

remember to incorporate wrist and arm, not just fingers only
