Studying by playing short scale passages in four note tremolo so that the string crossing of the p,i,m,a is consistent is crucial and was the most important of the technical lessons first codified by Francisco Tarrega and taught by one of his students. So playing four note tremolo on single notes with p,i,m,a on the same string helps greatly to balance the right hand. Here are a few observations about tremolo technique.įirst and foremost is: even if you have smooth and even, consistent a,m,i the thumb must be capable of playing melody accented notes but not inconsistent in power which takes away from the tremolo. I am studying a standard for the repertoire titled Una Limosna Por El Amor De Dios to finally get it up to snuff now that I am retired and actually have time to study again. My chops are not up to super fast tremolo at the present time but slow careful play is happening.
