Mastering Recuerdos de la Alhambra and the Tremolo Technique

Tarrega wrote Recuerdos over 100 years ago yet why do so few guitarists play it well? Search the internet and you’ll find audio and video recordings of people attempting to play Recuerdos de la Alhambra. Listen closely and you’ll hear:
The Gallop - Di Dee Dum, Di Dee Dum, Di Dee Dum
Broken phrases resulting in no clear melody line
Pauses in the music
So few guitarists play Recuerdos de la Alhambra well (and for that matter, many other pieces) because they have no systematic approach to learning the piece. They get so caught up in the right hand tremolo technique that they fail to consider the other demands the piece makes on the player.

We’ve created a systematic approach to Recuerdos de la Alhambra and the tremolo technique that will get you on the road to mastery. We break the piece down into easier versions so that you progressively make your way through the piece. Rather than diving in the deep end and drowning or barely keeping your head above water, we gradually introduce you to the tremolo stroke. First you learn the best fingering for the left hand and ingrain that into your playing then you are able to forget about the left hand technique and completely concentrate on the right hand tremolo technique. This is a common mistake of many players - they fail to eliminate left hand fingering difficulties before working on the tremolo. You must separate the two and then later combine them. We’ve done all the work for you with our optimized left hand fingerings; we then show you how to master the tremolo technique. Learn those and then focus on the most important part - the tremolo - and you’ll be on your way to mastery.

Once you’ve mastered Recuerdos, move on to other tremolo pieces like:

Barrios’ Una Limosna por el amor de Dios

and Un Sueno en la floresta also by Barrios
