Sorry that I can't attend this live but I'm doing a concert tonight (7pm UK time). I really struggle with the hammer on/slurs in this piece. Would it be possible to give some tips on executing these. I'm really looking forward to watching the recording of this and to working on the lesson. Thank you very much.

I was going to ask the same question especially the right hand articulation ie. pam or pmi for the slur grouping or I have heard/ seen people the triplet group instead of slur it what right hand fingering would be advised for this approach?

I have some questions about Tremolo technique:
1. Do you use "Preparation", such as planting the "a" finger for each group? for practice and performing?
2. What are best exercises you found for developing Even tremolo? Using "accents" for differenet fingers? Using different Patterns?
(a) Does practicing Flamenco 5- note ( piami) tremolo help develop even Classical tremolo?
3. How to best maintain position stability of righ hand and fingers when THUMB has to play low "E" string?
(a) Do you use "Rest" stroke for thumb in tremolo?
4. How to reduce tension and fatigue in right hand/fingers as this long tremolo piece progresses?
5. How to gain speed while playing LOUDER, without tension build-up?
6. How to create good BALANCE with nice volume of Treble melody and reduced bass volume accompaniment?
Sorry for the number of questions, but it may cover many issues our community have encountered along the way.
Thanks very much!!

Is there a problem with today's livestream?

My question would be...can a left handed person ever get their tremolo going as fast as a right handed person, presuming that both players would be holding the guitar the same way?
