A few people have asked me about the Barto right hand exercises off list so I thought I would answer to everyone. I only have them in hand written form, but have intabulated a version in the keys of D and A and posted in the Lute Tablature Forum section of [1]lutegroup.ning.com . The first warm up is just an arpeggio (in F major) with the thumb playing the F bass followed by "i m i" on the third and fourth courses (F A F). Keep repeating the pattern, then drop the bass note each time (F, FAF, E, FAF, D, FAF, C, FAF then rinse and repeat). Then vary the finger pattern (m i m, i m i m i m i). Then involve the left hand playing a rising scale in thirds. If Bob give me permission, I can track them down and scan them but I think you get the idea.
