You're back! I've not been around much as I've been busy teaching. I
thought of you when I recorded this and how you were going to get a
good tremolo without a teacher when you first started writing in this
NG. I don't have the best tremolo but it's good enough for gigs and I
think any serious student can have one at least as good as mine in
less time than you have had since you started your CG quest. So...

I'd like to take a look but am having trouble finding this series. If you know where it is, please provide the link.

Hard to hear that tremolo over the Giant open G pedal.
Welcome back, Larry. :)

everything else pretty much gets trashed and you get a mechanical stiff
feel. OTOH, it is good enough for gigs. Folks just love that stuff. :-)

If you stick with it you can have a workable tremolo is less time

than the time since you started writing here. The bad news is there
are no short cuts, and that's good news! You can't cheat to get it nor
can you buy it but you own it like nothing you can buy. Of course this
idea is not new but the truth is that few will do the time and never
find what Hii talks about, how it is a feeling that can be used for
more than just tremolo.
A NYC Cgist visited the island a while back and asked how I did the
nice cross string trills. I asked if he could do a tremolo and he said
no. I said it would be trivial if his tremolo was good. He had a 4
year CG degree and was working on his masters in music education. What
I'm doing is what he wants to do but I think it was a bit of a shock
to find out what the reality of teaching here is like.
From what I have seen in intermediate CGists it seems that many
think they can think their way to a good tremolo and just do not know
how much work it is to find that feeling and sustain the effect then
use it for other things like trills.
In any case, I wish you well on your CG quest and I'm sure your CG
teacher is glad you are willing to do it right this time.

Four years of CG in college and not even a rudimentary tremolo? Sounds like he over-partied his way through school and forgot to practice. Tremolo is not that hard to acquire. Perfecting tone, timing, and balance is the real challenge, but getting started with tremolo should be easy.

Russell is one of my favorite players. A true master of the art. No
one who posts here could ever be in a position to critique such an
extreme virtuoso/talents!

is-virtuosos have it all the time. Anyone who has an undergrad degree
and can't do a competent tremolo was short changed by their teacher.
However, a good musical fundamental technique is far more important to
obtain than tremolo. I taught myself tremolo at 15.

I taught it to myself, too, just through repetition, if I recall. I may have used Scott Tennant's stacatto approach. I just kept doing it over and over, until one day, it magically appeared. Didn't even need to make a blog about it!

I thought that the Barrios craze was way overblown and that tremolo is a
pretty cheesy effect but this is a heck of a piece. It has a higher
tasty note ratio than pretty much any piece that I've ever heard.
Remarkable!
