Cervantes -> RE: What is your favorite tremolo piece? (Apr. 8 2015 15:23:53)

ORIGINAL: BarkellWH By the way, Cervantes, which tremolo are you working on, flamenco or classical? It seems like most tremolo "pieces" are classical, e.g., Recuerdos de l'Alhambra and Una Limosna el Amor de Dios. Flamenco tremolo generally is a segment of a larger effort such as a Solea'. For what they are worth, a couple of observations on my experience with the tremolo follow below. I learned the flamenco tremolo from the beginning and have it down fairly well. For some reason, I find the flamenco tremolo much easier to maintain steady control over than the classical tremolo. My flamenco guitar teacher taught me to develop a stronger tremolo on the trebles by stroking the basses harder with the pulgar. Stroking harder on the basses with the pulgar almost automatically strengthens the iami strokes on the trebles. Bill I am practicing flamenco tremolo. I am thinking you could use it in place of a classical tremolo for practice although the music won't sound like it should. I also like Una Limosna but I know it as El Ultimo Tremolo. I like almost anything Barrios wrote, he is an icon and he had a unique style and the guy was crazy good at playing and composing. My teacher is always telling to me play a rest stroke with the thumb, something I have trouble with but I know he is right.
