PIMA (4 finger technique) morphed into this...

I've been working all summer on trying to do the Matt Garrison PIMA thing (thumb, index, middle, ring) but the ring finger wasn't cooperating. So I then spent a month trying to use PIM (thumb,index,middle). That worked better but it still never felt comfortable. So what I'm doing here is PIPM (sometimes just PIPI). (Thumb/Index/Thumb/Middle)

It's a very versatile technique. Coming along pretty good and quicker to assemble than the PIMA or PIM technique for me...
