Mainly you don't have time for your hand to bounce up and down when playing the notes. So for practice on having a steady hand on the up arrow notes first place your four fingers (p-i-m-a) down on the strings, then peal them off upward. That's your ideal hand movement on the downward arrow notes (albeit it's more difficult to do). |
thanks for the reply, i had sort of success with "faking" by keeping the fingers firm a make the pluck by rotating the wrist, but i am pretty sure this not right technique, since it puts you off and its difficult to follow up with anything.
