The downside of the “pimi” or “pmim” pattern is that some players may have difficulty playing them at fast speeds or may have problems with finger fatigue since one finger must be used twice in each cycle of the pattern.Manuel Maria Ponce.

It was a fun discussion and we both agreed to try each other’s pattern.īut, the point is that a “pimi” or “pmim” tremolo pattern, omitting the “a” finger, will inherently be more even and controllable than the traditional “pami” pattern. She understood my point but thought her pattern felt more natural to play. Therefore, my pattern makes more sense since it puts the stronger “m” finger on that slightly accented third note. I said, “Yes, that’s why I use ‘pimi’." The third note of the pattern should have a slight accent since metrically, the thumb is the downbeat and the third note is the upbeat in the 4-note group (I will explain this in detail later). But reluctantly, she finally admitted that “m” was stronger. After all, it’s kind of a badge of technical mastery to say that all of one’s fingers are equally strong and independent. So I asked her, “If you had to choose, which of your fingers is strongest, “i” or “m”?" At first, she didn’t want to admit that either one was stronger. She just did it, it worked, and she has used it ever since. She told me that early in her studies she couldn’t get the traditional “pami” pattern to work for her.
