:D I'm having a little trouble with my tremelo. Does anyone have a sugestion?

1- play a bass string with the p finger;
2- play a treble string with the a finger;
3- play the same treble string with the m finger;
4 -play the same treble string with the i finger;
5- repeat.

Marc you ass, haha

Seriously though Sanman - we've had a few threads on this and people have put in some great advice. Do a search for tremolo threads and you should find what you're lookin for :D

Tremelo is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant, in Flanders. The municipality comprises the towns of Baal and Tremelo proper. On January 1st, 2005 Tremelo had a total population of 13,650. The total area is 21.57 kmē which gives a population density of 632.70 inhabitants per kmē.


Tremelo is most famous for having been the hometown of Father Damien, locally known as Pater Damiaan, a legendary missionary that had tended to the lepers in the Hawaiian Islands.

Do not confuse it with the musical term TREMOLO.

Sorry you asked yet?

Practice p-a-m-i on the "B" string. Avoid practicing on the high "E" string.

Use a metronome and try to get an even tempo and even sound.

I have found that practicing p-i-a-m-i (flamenco tremolo) helps my p-a-m-i

It takes a very long time to get good. Even after practicing for over a year, my thumb overpowers the sound of my fingers when playing RDLA.

Should I practice?

Should I practice?

it's the only way to get better. There is no magic solution on earth that will improve your tremolo besides devoting as much time as you can to it.

I would add this comment: This is my own "thing" which I have not seen mentioned by others. But what I do is think of the "m" finger as the "lead" finger. This is similar to thinking of either the "i" or ''m" finger being the "lead" finger in playing fast scales. Doing this --- in conjunctin with what has been posted here in numerous other threads --- might help.

This forum used to be a pleasant and interesting "place" to drop into--a community of people helping one another. Now it's mostly a sustained pissing match between self-styled comedians of the nylon-string guitar. This poor guy, sanman, posted a sincere question and got seven snide answers before anyone came along with something useful to say. Sad times. I don't know how well you guys play, but if you spent more time practicing and less time dumping on newcomers you'd probably play better than you do now. (Which may be better than I play, granted.)

Now I'll try never to scold anyone here again.

Excellent article Lagg. Definitely more helpful than SOME of the responses in this thread.

I intend to try out some of these excercises as soon as possible.

I've also started a new thread with my own tremolo question. Maybe you can help? Check it out.

I admit that I was taken aback by some of the flippant and unhelpful responses to Sanman's sincere question. And he's a new member, too!

However, I think "mostly" is a little strong. I have found this to be a very friendly and supportive forum -- most of the time. Give us another chance! You too, Sanman.
