P.I.M.A. Unleashed

PIMA is an acronym that stands for (P) Thumb (I) Index (M) Middle (A) Ring. It is a 100% proven guide to mastering fingerstyle guitar and is taught in Music Theory courses at some of the best colleges and universities! When working with PIMA, you eliminate the confusion as to which finger to use at any given time and is a perfect template for any guitarist that is interested in moving past the basics of fingerstyle guitar.

PIMA In Detail

Here is the fully detailed PIMA legend. This legend will appear at the beginning of each exercise so that we will know which fingers we are working with. I will also include other various visual instruments to help drill the PIMA legend to solid memory.
