4 note tremolo with the pinky finger

Anyone like the sound of this tremolo? Don't try this at home. Flamenco tremolo sounds muy macho to me as compared to this.

Lmao. At what bpm? Classical tremolo? To make it flamenco tremolo one has to spin that thing a bit faster. Anyhow, a nice and even tremolo.

At least you are trolling yourself instead of other topics.

No one knows. Creepy enough.

Btw, Cepero's flamenco tremolo at 1:26.

I have a weird version of "tremolo"; as a kid, only hearing flamenco on records, I tried to imitate the sound I was hearing. Looking at my hand my index finger and my ring finger were the same length compared to my longer middle finger. So, I developed a two finger style, index, ring finger plus thumb. I would not recommend it, but it enables me to more easily use a tremolo on the the other strings below high E string.

I could only imagine you place your thumb between i and a finger like Tommy Emmanuel in this artificial harmonics video.
