🌊 Your tremolo, honestly
Tremolo is the technique that pulls people to the classical guitar and then humbles them for years. That rippling p-a-m-i has a way of sounding effortless in a recording and falling apart the moment we try to keep it even, relaxed, and musical rather than just fast. Some have a tremolo they trust, some are still building one, some quietly avoid the pieces that need it.
💬 How is your tremolo coming along?
- What finally made yours more even, or what is still getting in the way?
- Do you practise it as pure technique, inside a piece, or both, and how often?
- Is evenness, speed, or staying relaxed the hardest part for you?
Tremolo is where patience and tone meet, and almost everyone has a story of fighting it. Let's compare where ours actually stand.

'a' finger is usually loudest and sometimes gets caught/stuck. Then tremolo on 1st string is ok, then get to Recuerdos with tremolo on the 2nd string, and everything explodes hahaa.

I think it would be very helpful to have someone with a beautiful tremolo do a "Track" for Tonebase on Tremolo. I suggest there be extra attention to relaxation as it progresses up to desired tempo. The "Track" would be an excellent method using "baby steps" to achieve the desired result.

I totally agree with . I would love to see a tremolo Track on tonebase

I can't think of any pieces on my wish list that use tremolo. I practice it occasionally because it will also help even out my arpeggios, but if I never get a real tremolo, meh.
