the best, the greatest tremolo teacher i have ever seen..... i am a slow learner but i learn from zero to intermediate tromolo from this exceptional teacher..SIR THANK YOU ..MAY GOD BLESS YOU.....manila, philippines.
There are so many tremolo videos one can find and I’ve tried many of the exercises they offer. This video blows them all away. The step by step and patience you have are second to none. I would like to thank you for the time you have taken.
In the beginning when you were playing, I swear it was like looking at a magazine-fantasy Spanish guitar player. You are a natural talent, one with the instrument. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and your beautiful brain. Subscribed.
It's crazy how much TH-cam has helped access to info. 15 years ago if i forgot something i d have to wait for next week's lesson to ask. Nowadays it takes 10 minutes to find a partiture, a tutorial, a guy to explain the necessary tech and probably a downloadable program to make you coffee so you can practice harder😂
Yes, it’s quite amazing how quickly we can access information now. I remember when flying to Spain regularly was the only way to get access to to the best teachers. Things have changed for the better in some ways. In other ways, there’s just too much info out there (good and bad!). Thanks for commenting!
systematically you explain in the video and the video production is really very good...the addition of note images and tablatures makes everything more interesting and clear. congratulation....Diego Alonso
Qué tutorial más bueno. Muchas gracias!!!!! Ahora si que me lanzo a aprender el trémolo. Espero que de aquí a cinco años empiece a sonar decente. Muy bien grabado, estructurado y editado. Y en perfecto inglés. Mucho talento concentrado en una persona. Eres todo un artista. ¡Enhorabuena por el canal!
This sure looks like it can work!.. I was looking for something like this for...a long time... Very clear and bright explanation, thank you VERY much!!!
Thanks Diego. That was clear, concise, to the point and very well done. Watching this took me from " I'll never be able to do that" to "Look Mom. I'm playing tremolo!" I think intimidation was my biggest roadblock to learning a cool new technique. As a side note I noticed that your chord diagram for Fmaj7(#11) doesn't match the TAB.
That’s awesome to hear Thomas! So glad to have helped. :) Thanks for letting me know about the chord diagram and the tab. I didn’t see that! Unfortunately, it’s too late for me to correct this one but I’ll make sure to triple check when I post the next video.
This is awesome, thanks! I fell in love with the classical sound after hearing Kazuhito Yamashita for the first time today, I was so astonished at how this guitar could sound. I am an old Las Vegas drummer but I love learning guitar, I have an Alverez RC10, can't wait to start the journey. Cheers man!
I am trying to play Alesund by Sun kil Moon, Mark Kozelek's band. The song uses tremolo a lot and I always struggle with that. This might help. Thanks!
Finger size or length is not as important as you might think. Andres Segovia had fat stubby fingers. Conversely, TH-cam has tonnes of videos of tiny Asian virtuoso children playing classical guitar, and they're better than most of us! Work with what you got!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic Thanks for the lesson. I have been playing guitar since I was 14. Have been trying to revive myself. I went through many obstacles trying to become the best version of myself.
Something I'm finding crucial in getting tremelo down is having your nails properly shaped. If they are too rough, too long, or not angled correctly, it is next to impossible to make progress. There are a lot of videos on this, but I particularly like the explanation by Bradford Werner at the "This is Classical Guitar" channel. He also has a companion webpage detailing it. I've still got a long way to go with tremelo, but getting this right made a huge difference in my progress. Note - i tried posting this with links, but youtube doesn't seem to allow it. It should be easy enough to find though.
Hey, i notice when i try to play other strings with my thumb while doing tremolo with my other fingers, my thumb completely looses cordination… any tips?
Very great lesson and homework! Thanks! Please could you make some videos of how to play picado and how to increase our picado speed including exercises. Many thanks.
¡Qué bueno Diego! Excelente clase. Ya me suscribí. Yo tengo mis momentos, amo a la guitarra clásica pero nunca llego a ejecutar muy bien. Trabajo, familia, etc... Lo del trémolo es algo difícil para mi y algo a conquistar. Tienes, además, un excelente sonido. Aprovecho a consultar por las cuerdas que usas y su calibre. ¡Un abrazo grande desde Argentina!
Saludo Norberto! Muchas gracias! Me alegro mucho que el video te haya servido. Acerca de las cuerdas, utilizo la marca D’Addario, tensión media. Siempre compro mis bajos y agudos por separado: Bajos = SDN-3B y Agudos = CGN-3T. Las tengo en la tienda de mi página web por si las quieres comprar allí: www.diegoalonsomusic.com/store. Gracias de nuevo!
Hello! Thank you for commenting! Not at all. The lack of nails would only change your options for tone. You would not necessarily be able to produce brighter tones without nails. But you can certainly play Tremelo without them. I hope this helps!
We need as much tremolo tutorials as possible without being too much haha.. I been thinking about this for a while. You say the relax the fingers after hitting it legato or non staccato, but at 13:40 and all other times throughout performance you're curling your fingers into a fist right before getting back to P finger. Surely when doing it fast that would be a good case, even slow cause your hands feel and look relaxed at that point. You could right? drop the finger after every stroke when playing fast, or would that be harder? Idk if you get me, but please more tremolo haha :D
Thanks for comment! Yes, at the slow tempo. I’m keeping my fingers up a little bit more than I would add a faster temple. If you take a look at around 19:10, that’s more similar to what it would be like at full speed. In any case, what I try to do at fast tempos is focus on keeping my fingers relaxed rather than actively think about dropping each finger after every stroke. As long as you keep your hands and fingers loose and light, you’ll get a good tone. I hope this helps!
Damn never expected to see you here. Love your channel man I learned a bunch of decent tricks from you! I hope you have a great journey with the guitar
Yes, you definitely need to have a little bit of length in your nails for flamenco guitar. I recommend about 2 to 3 mm past the finger tip to start. Thanks for commenting!
I've seen many tremelo videos, but am getting the most out of this one. Exactly the right amount of detail and simple exercises. Great job!!!
Thanks so great to hear! Thank you for commenting! ❤️
Probably the best tremolo video I've watched :) You're awesome dude, hope to be as good as you one day!!!
It's a great complete lesson to the audience who in fact always want comprehensiveness.
Thank you so much for your comment! Glad to help

Thank you so much and wish you a great beautiful guitar playing LG LOES!
Hey, i notice when i try to play other strings with my thumb while doing tremolo with my other fingers, my thumb completely looses cordination… any tips?
See if you’re wrist is bending a lot when you change bass strings. A change in the angle of attack can often throw off coordination.
Great teacher🎉
Bendiciones me encanta genial saludos desde mabella Málaga España yo toco la guitarra también amigo genial 😁 😉 👍 😊 👌 👏 😁 😉 👍 😊 👌 👏 😁
Muchas gracias José Antonio! Me alegro mucho saber qué te gustan los videos!

Hello! Thank you for commenting! Not at all. The lack of nails would only change your options for tone. You would not necessarily be able to produce brighter tones without nails. But you can certainly play Tremelo without them. I hope this helps!

When practicing flamenco, having long nails in the right hand does it required ?
Yes, you definitely need to have a little bit of length in your nails for flamenco guitar. I recommend about 2 to 3 mm past the finger tip to start. Thanks for commenting!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic ok Sir thanks so much
Luar Biasa....!
Excellent
Thank you for commenting!
Thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏽
Genial me encanta súper bien feliz día genial me encanta 💖 😊 😘 😉 💕 😍 💖
Great video. I have a question. Something i've always wondered.
When you're playing up to speed, do you play staccato or legato tremolo?
I always go for a legato sound but it’s good to practice both. Staccato practice helps train the fingers to get to the strings quickly.
