I know it is not flamenco but Paco Pena plays it too Good work. Continue working on it and perfecting it using the classical tremolo. My advice is DO NOT use the flamenco tremolo p-iami. Francisco Tarrega composed it with the classical tremolo, and it should be learned and perfected using the classical tremolo. A few years ago I began working on Recuerdos using the flamenco tremolo because I found the flamenco tremolo easier to maintain a steady, dead-on tremolo than the classical, and I still do. Nevertheless, to play Recuerdos using the flamenco tremolo slows it down and throws off the timing. If you want it to sound the way Tarrega meant it to sound, and the way you hear it played at its best, play it using the classical tremolo. Bill

Yes, exactly my point. The flamenco tremolo slows down the piece significantly and that's why I don't like it. As I wrote in my comment at the beginning of this thread: "Continue working on it and perfecting it using the classical tremolo. My advice is do not use the flamenco tremolo p-iami. Francisco Tarrega composed it with the classical tremolo, and it should be learned and perfected using the classical tremolo...to play Recuerdos using the flamenco tremolo slows it down and throws off the timing." You have noted the same thing. The flamenco tremolo changes the tempo significantly, and there is no way, nor need there be, to compensate for that. You are doing a great job with Recuerdos as it is, TK. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the final, polished product. Cheers, Bill
