Week 1 - Pick Your Romance 🌹
Hello tonebuddies! 🎸 The Tremolo – Step by Step Track is live, and for the next three weeks we're celebrating the music that made tremolo famous: the Romantic guitar repertoire!
Open the Track here: Tremolo – Step by Step
Not a tremolo person? You're just as welcome. Any Romantic piece counts: a Tárrega prelude, Mertz, Coste, Regondi, Llobet, a Schubert or Chopin transcription, a Barrios waltz. Or mix both and use the Track's daily routine as your warm-up.
This week's theme: pick your romance. Tell us what you're working on and where you're starting from: your first tremolo, polishing Recuerdos, or a Romantic piece without a single tremolo note. Then post whatever your practice throws up, a clip, a question, a small win. No clip required.
If you're working through the Track, you're among the very first players through it, so one question for the week: where did something click, and where did it trip you up? We're listening 👂
Dates: November 13 – December 4. We close with a Watch Party on Friday, December 4, 5pm CET, featuring recorded submissions from this challenge, tremolo or not, a single phrase or a whole piece. Post your video in the Week 3 thread to be featured. 🎥

I will also check out this track and hopefully it can help improve my tremelo. I plan to work on two Carlevaro Estudios that utilize tremelo. The first is an unpublished Tremelo Study that uses a,m,i. The second is Estudio No. 1 entitled HVL. It uses i,m,i.
