This is one of the best videos that you have done! Not just the explanation of the different techniques, but execution and tone of the example material.
Thank you for breaking all of this down. This slide with tremolo was just what I was looking for. Appreciate you counting off also very helpful when learning a new technique.
A thinner/softer pick can help go through the strings more easily, I’d suggest trying a lot of different ones. Not necessarily one best pick for all purposes.
I reckon the person I've heard do it the most (and very tastefully) is Ronnie McCoury - nice example here at about one minute 17 seconds in the link below on his break on "Make Room for the Blues". Sometimes he might put a little dash of 32nd notes at the ends of lines, but there are some prominent sextuplets here. It's can be a bit more relaxed than 32nd notes. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/WJCep0mxO8I/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I find it interesting that both of those songs clock around 100-110bpm. Do have particular tempos where you tend to switch gears to a different subdivision?
@@davidzelonka9739 excellent question - there does seem to be a sweet spot there that invites the slower tremolo (opposed to 32nd notes, or playing 16th notes with downstrokes over 100bpm). I would say that would probably the an ideal tempo range for sextuplets. Excellent observation.

I always get so much out of your videos. And I love the reminders about things we should be practicing, like scales in triplets, sixteenth notes, etc.
I am so glad you do Andy!! I always appreciate you leaving kind comments talking about what you’re connecting with. 😀🎶

chasing the bliss through the Music! Thank you, Maestro!
Mighty kind, Dave! May you find copious quantities in sustainable supply!
"Onced again" I love it! I moved from NC to Ohio a few years ago and everyday someone asks where I'm from cause I don't sound like them😁
😀 you know!!
Waaw you have a very deep voice
Great lesson Chris but.....i normally use a pretty hard pick, should I consider using a softer one fir songs with tremolo?

Thanks Christopher. Love your channel. (From Johnny in Liverpool )
What are some examples of recordings that use the sextuplet tremolo? I’d love to hear that in context.
Excellent question - I’ll have a think and maybe poke around a little bit and see what I can find.
