PIMA string skipping exercise

Here’s a morning technique workout I thought was cool. Borrowing concepts from drum rudiments to improve your technique. Can you think of others that are helpful?
Here’s the pdf of the PIMA exercise:

Can we get a new series called "The Bathrobe Musing"

I have no idea where I learned it but I've been doing the string skipping portion of this exercise at 1:12 for 20 years. Was probably in a 90's guitar world mag

Great idea, I think, adapting drum rudiments to the guitar. Good RH practice!

[@ajadrew]

Great for Bass too!

I often think that were we to be visited tomorrow by a highly-advanced alien civilisation several orders of magnitude beyond us in both intellectual and physical prowess, they would still take one look at guys like you Noel and say in whatever were their lexical equivalents, "F*ck me! Look what this one can do?!"

reminds me of any King Crimson tune...😝

I thought that was a PITA string skipping exercise. A triplet feel would be cool...then there are other subdivisions of time...the possibilities resulting would be an endless PITA.

Damn. I’ve been trying to figure this out from the Horace video!!

Good exercise. P.s. you should see a doctor about your lycanthropy kicking in hard @1:00. Full moon there?

Ummmm PIMA is the right hand? Thumb(pulgar), index(indice), middle(media), ring(annular).

[@nohjoh08]

I can understand the confusion if only seeing the title. Not this time… “Paradiddle, Inverted paradiddle, Mills and Alternating quads” (it’s a drum rudiment applied to a string skipping exercise)

[@mooseymoose]

@@nohjoh08 Ahh, gotcha.

Explain to me how the dressing gown helps you to perfect your technique!!
I now see it is the secret… but I must understand why!

Are you wearing a robe?
