I have had the same experience, so wondered about it. I think it might have to do with the extra 'i' providing a sense of better anchoring of the i, m , and a fingers on that one string where they play the tremolo. This sense of better stability may also be enhanced by the apoyando thumb in flamenco tremolo vs. the tirando thumb in classical tremolo. But I think the feeling of better stability or consistency mostly comes from the extra ''i before 'ami' keeping the ami from flying off having too much freedom. I had not given it much thought at the time I described my experience in 2015. I think you have nailed it, though, Kitarist. The extra "i" in the flamenco tremolo would provide the stability, anchor, and balance that would enhance a controlled, steady, shimmering melody and, as you so vividly put it, "keep the 'ami' from flying off having too much freedom." I wonder if other Foro members have had the same experience regarding the flamenco vs. the classical tremolo? Bill

Classical Guitar Tremolo Pieces: A R... (in reply to Ricardo)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Ricardo Talk about getting sick and tired of hearing the same old piece done over and over and over and over. Other than barrios why haven’t classical guitarists even ARRANGED other beautiful melodies for tremolo tech like the flamenco guys have done. I just don’t get it. Hi all, Over the last few months I got curious about finding classical guitar tremolo pieces, after this discussion about way too few tremolo pieces being in regular circulation by concert (or other) guitarists. I ended up compiling a list of more than 100 pieces, which I thought would be of general interest to forum members. It contains info beyond a name and composer - like number of tremolo measures, time signature, key, alternate tuning if applicable, tremolo pattern if different from (p)ami, as well as bpm estimates for the ones I was able to find video examples of being played, and links to the videos. It is curious how tremolo seems to invite the frequent use of a triple meter as well as of parallel keys. I discovered many interesting tremolos that way and thought others might enjoy the same exploration. Again, this is a list of tremolo pieces which are not flamenco tremolo (no piami). Apart from the images below (right-click->View-Image to embiggen), here is a link to the list as a pdf document.
