Patience is important. Equally important is the instructor's watching closely and correcting you when you are even slightly off-track. From the beginning my teacher, Paco de Malaga, not only exhibited patience with me that goes beyond the call of duty, he has never hesitated to drill me over and over when I am not getting it right. For example, learning the tremolo. The trick, as taught to me by Paco, is to start slowly and practice, maintaining a dead-on, even tremolo with each stroke. Once you have mastered that, without sounding like a horse's gallop, you can increase the speed. The most important thing about the tremolo, however, is to maintain dead-even strokes. Paco also taught me how to perform a stronger tremolo by utilizing a strong pulgar down-stroke on the basses, which automatically causes the iami tremolo strokes on the trebles to strengthen and project. The key, though, is a good teacher will not only impart the basics to his student, he will also suggest tips and tricks to a better performance. And he will never hesitate to drill you again if you are not getting it right. Bill
