🎸 Power to the Pinky – Episode 25: PIMA Pattern
Welcome back! Today we’re putting everything together with a full episode dedicated to one of the most versatile and musical fingerstyle tools you’ll ever learn: the PIMA pattern. We’ll break down classic quarter-note PIMA exercises, introduce the “inside-out” pattern (P-I-M-A-M-I), and then apply both patterns to a set of foundational chords — E minor, C, G, and D. The focus today is on clarity, consistency, and most importantly, maintaining a steady tempo as you move between chords and patterns.
🎧 What You’ll Hear:
âś… Quarter-note PIMA patterns to build timing and right-hand structure
✅ The “inside-out” roll (PIMAMI) — what it is and why it feels so musical
âś… A step-by-step exercise for mastering the PIMAMI pattern
âś… Applying PIMA and PIMAMI patterns to Em, C, G, and D chord shapes
âś… How to keep a solid, steady tempo while switching chords and rolls
