I am not a big fan of doing scales and exercises, I prefer to find a musical piece that I want to learn. If I have problems with any part, I will work on those parts until I´m happy. So if you want to work on tremolo, just find a piece that features tremolo and learn the whole piece, or large chunks anyway. That way you will also learn to swap between different techniques, plus you will work on something musically interesting instead of scales etc. Btw, I do believe it is good to know a bit about scales and music theory, so if you don´t know much, I would look into it. But if you only play scales, I think you will end up sounding like a guy that plays scales, not music, if that makes sense... I usually transcribe from videos, because you can see what is going on with both right and left hand. I have Logic Pro running with a video in normal tempo, then I have VLC on slower speed (with the same video), so I can swap fast between slow and fast. Also, when working in Logic, I just set it in loop, so every time I hit space it will start from the loop start point. Big time saver for me. Cheers Tommy
