Fingerpicking Master Coach & Hotkeys

Hotkeys: Use keyboard keys 6 (lowest bass string) through 1 (high string), or press P (Thumb), I (Index), M (Middle), A (Ring), and Space to pluck in time. Use ArrowLeft / ArrowRight to speed up or slow down the tempo.

The PIMA Rule: Thumb (P) never crosses above index. Index (I), Middle (M), and Ring (A) stay anchored over strings 3, 2, and 1 respectively. Let your knuckles flex naturally without wrist tension.
