Classical guitar/tremolo forum - New ways of thinking about the tremolo technique for classical guitar
I’m adding new posts there from time to time.
Two things to concentrate on when developing tremolo technique
April 4, 2007
1 - Tremolo on other than the first string. I try to practice most of my tremolo on the second string to get used to having a string below my fingers. I’ll refer to it as performing the tremolo in tight places. Practicing exclusively on the first string won’t give you that same claustrophobic feeling and when you try to move to other strings, you’ll be in foreign territory.
2 - With the above said, practicing tremolo on the first string is still very valuable because one of the more difficulty things to do is tremolo on the first string while the thumb plays the sixth string. This large gap between the thumb and fingers adds another level of difficulty to the technique. Make sure you concentrate on creating a smooth and steady tremolo in this situation.
