My teacher and I are working on four-note chords, using all four right-hand fingers (p, i, m, and a).
I had the practice piece sounding OK (at my student tempo). But then my teacher wanted me to keep my right-hand little finger in contact with (or very close to) the soundboard, and not "pull away" during plucking. I worked on this for a week, and did not make good progress. The right- hand ring finger 'a' often gets the melody, which is unfortunate, since it is the weakest of the four fingers.
