I'm being hypocritical of another thread that I just posted in, but I need to know what you guys suggest for the fingering of 'Eugenes Trick Bag' when it starts up in the arpeggios, specifically the first one in Am.

Two ways to play it and here are the fingerings (1 = index, 2 = middle etc, in brackets) that they could go in:


|--------------------------------------------------------------------8(1)-12(4)
|--------------------------------------------------------10(4)
|----------------------------------------------9(3)--
|----------------------------7(1)-10(4)
|-----------------7(1)-
|-5(1)-8(4)

OR...

|--------------------------------------------------------------------8(1)-12(4)
|-------------------------------------------------------10(3)
|----------------------------------------------9(2)
|------------------------7(1)--10(3)
|---------------7(1)
|-5(1)-8(3)

and back down.



I know this is kind of basic but I'm catching up on my sweeping technique (yea and I know these are all picked seperate and blah blah) but I need to know which one is more benificial in the long run. I think it's probably the first for proper technique, but the second would be so much easier because my pinky sucks.
