It's actually good practice in any case, for all timing and dynamic balance between thumb and fingers.
Here's a good balance exercise, using a simple 4-string arpeggio in p-i-m-a order (from the time-stamp):

The purpose there is making each finger in turn the loudest, so the tempo is kept steady. What you need is slightly different: to give each finger the same volume, but get steadily faster. |
thanks i will deffinitely try out this one. i believe i can do quite a few patterns and some resonably fast and dynamicaly balance, but i just cannot replicate that "harph" sound, i think my brick is between thumb and index, since they go opossite direction. in fact i am closer to do it from ring to thumb that the normal way. i hope there will be the heureka moment after long practice.
