In this first volume of his Technique Series, Ito dedicates over 40
minutes of instruction to executing superior rest and free strokes, a
detailed examination of the physics involved. Emphasis is placed on
the free stroke, with key insight into its relationship to the rest
stroke. Masa identifies hazardous technique and exposes widespread
misleading advice, especially regarding tremolo.
The volume addresses challenges faced by students learning tremolo,
providing essential instruction on how to master this elusive
technique. Francisco Tárrega's celebrated composition "Recuerdos de
la Alhambra" serves as a basis for the discussion. Work on your
technique with Masa using the Tremolo Practice Loop, a DVD bonus
feature.
