What is the best way to practice this with a metronome? Triplets? Eight-Notes? Sixteenths?
Yes, I always use a metronome with this kind of practice.
Please refer to each video for metronome count (Triplets, 1/8 notes, etc..)
A tip to know is that a metronome is very helpful to keep you at a slow tempo.
Slow practice is important for technique, but people tend to play at a "comfortable" tempo.
Slow practice should be slower than your comfortable tempo, and that's when a metronome become useful. - shellshock19114th January 2008

Kosei,
Your playing and your lessons are absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much for sharing your skills here.
I've always been daunted by classical music because of how intricate and difficult it is to play. Your lessons are very encouraging and have inspired me to give it a try.
Thanks,
Joel
Hi, Joel!
Thank you for your comments. It is most rewarding for me to know someone is picking up a classical guitar watching my lessons! Keep in touch!

Hi Kosei, I need to practice these. Please can explain a little more about the technique of planting.

Hi, Jason.
Sorry for the late reply.
Planting is preparing the finger tips on the strings in advance.
Let's say you are playing p-i-m-a arpeggio on D, G, B, E strings.
As you play p on D string, plant i on G string, m on B string, a on E string at the same time.
When you play i on G string next, make sure to leave m and a on each string (do not lift up).
Then, play m on B string, but leave a on E string.
At last, play a on E string and as you do it, plant p on D string.
In this way, your finger (or thumb) is always touching the string, and it gives you the maximum stability and power.
It is difficult to tell it in words, but you can see me on the 5th clip of this lesson.
Good luck!

Thanks. I've been trying different angles for my left hand and right hand. I found it beneficial for my own practicing, too.

Thank you, all.
I hesitated to post this lesson because some may think it is boring, but I am glad many of you like it.
My philosophy is that any exercises or studies could be fun when they deliver result.
