Thank you everybody for your comments. About Vicente Gomez and the tremolo technique, Vicente Gomez played the 4 note tremolo and his seating position was that of a classico. Mr. Gomez learned flamenco as child while working in his father's taverna. Later on he studied with Quintin Esquembre who was a pupil of Francisco Tarrega. So, Mr. Gomez was adept at both flamenco and classical guitar.
Of note, historically flamenco players used both the 4 & 5 note tremolos and there was no distinction between the two, i.e. "flamenco tremolo" vs. "classical tremolo".
For those of you that would like a full bio on Vicente Gomez you are directed to: The International Guitar Research Archive, http://library.csun.edu/igra/bios/gomez.html
For a reference to flamenco players using both the 4 & 5 note tremolo check out Rafael Marin's flamenco method from 1902.
Saude,
Dan
