Dude, you have to be joking. If you can't swing the 5 note tremolo from the beginning, maybe you should take up Punk or something. lol, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt! I've decided that thrash, metal, rock and flamenco is too many things to learn. I'm ending up spending such a small amount of time on each that I'm not progressing very fast. So its just flamenco from here on! (although I'll keep my electric guitar just in case). Thanks for the advice, though Miguel. I came up with 2 finger tremolos because I have trouble using my ring (annular) finger when doing tremolo, so I found that by eliminating it altogether, I could pick up a bit more speed. But I think the result is probably closer to something a classical guitarist might play... the Fandangos example kinda reminds me of something called "The Clawhammer" which I was once taught. But you're right... its back to the slow, methodical practise with a metronome I think... Cheers, Jb

You can repeat fingers to good effect - eg pimi works very well, as do other combinations. quote:

I could swear that PDL uses something very similar at the end of "Panaderos Flamencos". Miguel, My "m" technique isn't that bad, I mainly have a problem with the annular, and feel that my "a" finger is weaker than my "i" and "m". If I understand you correctly, you were referring to using "p" for the bass strings and then "m" for the trebles consecutively. I used a similar technique when I learnt the chorus to Isaac Albeniz's "Asturias Leyenda" (Grisha plays this song on his new CD). Its a bit like a tremolo technique, but only using one treble note between each bass note. Once you get the hang of the movement switching between "p" and "m", it becomes increasingly easier. Although I have to admit that I find "p" and "i" the easiest for this technique, and have no idea which one is the one Albeniz actually intended. If you're referring to scales and picado style playing with "p" and "m", then I find this quite tricky, although I can imagine that some might find the "pivoting" movement easier than "i" and "m"... I'll have to practice both for a while and see which one I prefer. The extra practice will do me good. Thank you all for your advice! Jb
