In this video, we'll use the lovely Italian tune by Ernesto de Curtis 'Torna a Surriento' to put into practice our tremolo skills. The tune is all built on the same picking pattern, so we'll run through some exercises first and then work through the tune. All you need to remember is to stay relaxed!

What a pretty tune! First time I've heard this but will play this one often I think.

This is a beautiful tune and a great lesson. Thank you very much!

Glad you like it!

[@amandasteven1400]

ooo' this is fun! i mean, after struggling with bluegrass fiddle tunes this is a breath of fresh air... and when it becomes second nature, maybe evn a meditation :)

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Beautiful tune to play.
Happy picking!
Mike

Thank you for the wonderful lesson, could you give the guitar backing track? Or give the tabs so I can play on my own.

[@edgarlincoln9459]

What make of mandolin are you playing? Secondly, I really like your lessons and choice of tunes. Thank you.

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Thanks Edgar, it's a Kristufek (Krishot in the US). Cheers! Mike

Great tune Mike, nicely played. I've got the tune down fairly quickly without tremolo but I'm messing up with the DU DU routine when I speed it up and slipping in 2downs and 2ups in certain parts. Bad habit I'll try to correct.

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Keep going .. DU DU DU tremolo :) Take it phrase by phrase, play the exercise on open strings then the phrase then exercise then phrase etc etc. You'll get there!

[@alanowen3816]

Thanks Mike, I've got up to a good tremolo speed with this song and moved onto Recuerdos de la Alambra now. 👍

[@slackeratslack]

Very nice! Would love to get good chord shapes for the mandolin sorted for it.

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Yeah, drop me an email if you want me to chart any out for you.

[@italobrunoamodio5374]

What a great sound....is possible to know the model of the mandolin?

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Thanks! It's a Kristufek from the Czech Republic
