Etude No.2 in A (Heitor Villa-Lobos)-6, Classical Guitar Study

This is one of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ famous classical guitar study. It says a arpeggio study in the subtitle of the manuscript. It sounds like a study for right hand. This confuses me for quite a long time. I find out that the notes in each measure landed at terrible places. It makes me very hard to execute right hand arpeggio and I even doubt it this is a arpeggio study. There is almost no fingering on the score. It makes the left hand fingering awfully hard to figure out. There are lots of possibilities to play one single measure.
