IHMO as self-taugh ... Tremolo is a complicate technique and the basic exercises are really boring. But they are strictly necesary because they are a base for a perfect technique. They made your brain fit the correct pulses. But at the same time, sometimes, this exercises does not motivate your brain to increase speed, even with metronome, and refuses to do it as a instinctive movement. And also, transition from the basic exercises to professional falsetas the gap is high, because the coordination of tremolo could be high and you need a really good instinctive techinique to play them. My solution in this cases is that after basic exercises you can play intermediate exercises. For example, you can try the same but with a very simple bass line of a basic and slow palo "a compás" as soleares with quarter notes intead a 000000 chord and try it with tremolo in E and B strings. This kind of exercise sometimes unlocked the brain. I remember that this was relly good for me when I learnt the rasgeado of Pepe Habichuela with two fingers. It is similar. It needs a very basic training, but when you try it in quick falsetas the sound is no so bright like the Pepe's sound. The technique description is easy but to get a round sound is really complicate in a Pepe's falseta(may be impossible ). But you can apply it in as part of a ground rhythm of alegrias, for example. A good friend of mine and good 'cantaor aficionado' who loves extremly the 'el cante puro' says always that flamenco 'students' forget two things: Flamenco, specially the 'puro', is a music of people that is not in a hurry and at the same time of peole who enjoy hearing the music. Boring exercises are excelent for the first but no good for the second.
