Fingerstyle Guitar — Week 2 — Day 9

Day 9 — Six-note pattern: p-i-m-a-m-i

Builds on: Day 8 (rotation solid); Day 4’s pattern flexibility.
Good for: your third right-hand pattern — up and back down in one gesture. Six notes per bar gives a waltz-like flow and is the pattern behind countless classical study pieces.

Same string assignment as always: p on root, i-m-a-mi on S-3, S-2, S-1, S-2, S-3. The a-finger is the turnaround.

• Warmup — 2 min (from the Day 8)
• Establish (3 min): p-i-m-a-m-i on C alone — even timing through the turnaround, no bump at a
• Vary (3 min): same pattern on Am, then Em — thumb home changes, right hand fingers don’t
• Integrate (3 min): rotate C – Am – Em, one bar each
• Cooldown (3 min): whichever chord sang best — listen to the rise and fall
• Fretboard +5 min — E (day 2/3)
