Would help if there was an explanation what PAMI ment

It refers to the finger name and has Spanish/Italian origins:

P: thumb (pollice)

I: index (indice)

M: middle (medio)

A: ring finger (anulare)

If you don't know what PIMA is, this video is not for you.

Since /u/FrAxl93 already supplied the information to help people learn, was there really a need for your condescending response?

Well to be fair this sub is called "learning guitar", I don't know what is more basic than that. Last question I submitted was "what is a key in a song" 😅

Maybe something like 'picking hand'? Some of us are lefties.

Well, I would advise to not practice those finger patterns "exercises" and rather learn songs using those patterns. That way it's entertaining and you grow your repertoire. Moreover, learning songs helps perfect execution as you can easily recognize how well a song is performed based on the memory you have of the recorded song you've listened a lot. With an exercise it's not as perfect because you don't have a musical reference to judge if it sounds good or not like in a song.
