Tremolo por tarantas

I am looking for some tremolo practice material. Could I please have a few suggestions for tremolo falsetas por tarantas that are not too busy/tricky in the left hand and without a lot of inner string tremolo & string crossings etc?

I'd prefer something modern, but realise it may be difficult to find something modern and uncomplicated.

Thanks

Take a look at Paco Pena's tremolo falseta in "Tonas Levantinas". (In the Paco Pena book "Toques Flamencos").

Very nice tremolo falseta por Tarantas, and not too hard to play.

Maybe you like a tremolo por tarantas from me?
I made a video with the whole thing played slowly, it's very easy and consequent in the left hand
here you go:

trémolo starts at 2:25

I also uploaded the piece in this thread where I play it in original tempo:

that seems to be a difficult piece and you did well. Your technique is quiete good and those long fingers help. lol. the tremelo gallops in places which might be because you slowed it up some and some of the stretches are taking away form yr concentration. Yr a young guy keep playing its very good.

You know what, I've listened to it a few times now and I like it better each time. The arpegio accompaniment is really cool. It's a very pretty tremolo passage, and I much prefer a minor key tremolo in Tarantas to the D major suggestion by Paco Pena.

...so yeah, I'm writing it out to learn it

Thanks.
