Percussion to develop tremolo technique
February 3, 2007
One way to really hear the evenness of your tremolo in terms of rhythm and volume is to make your guitar into a drum. I know it sounds odd but it’s really simple. Take your fretting hand and mute the strings somewhere over the fretboard. I like to do it near the twelfth fret. Now practice your tremolo with a metronome and notice how much easier it is to hear the volume of each note as well as the rhythmic evenness between notes without the ringing caused by playing fretted notes. Learn to listen for the space between each note as a way of gauging the evenness of your playing.
