- This is a classical guitar lesson is all about the tremolo technique. This is a lesson for absolute beginners to learn tremolo technique or guitar players at an intermediate/advanced level who want to revisit some fundamentals with the right hand.
I've also composed a short tremolo guitar etude called Starshine that you can download the sheet music and tab for FREE here:
www.hannahmurp...
This piece allows you to work on your right hand tremolo technique along with musicality while keeping the left hand parts easy enough so you can focus on the right hand.
This is a short etude that I was inspired by Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tarrega and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I hope you enjoy it!

Your introduction on right hand position was exactly how my teacher told me almost 35 years ago, i made it a habit, and never failed me. Knowledge is passing trough generations. Nice.
That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that

haha no need for pedals over here ;) good luck!
@@HannahMurphyguitar Do a flanger.
Recieved "STARSHINE"pdf July 13,2022. My first composed tremelo exercise ever. Study etude today 2/26/2023 as an (absolute beginner)with 8 months of daily practice and the ability to just barely use the lesson as classical guitar study. The "STARSHINE" composition lights the way and your light shines on me now. Thank You
Le travail lent que vous proposez (60 bpm) m'a fait progresser en quelques jours plus que des années d'exercices basés sur la rapidité. Merci Hannah !
Thank you Hannah, this demystifies a scary technique for me and makes it become more achievable. Plenty of practice needed though !! Thanks again

Thank you. You are a very good instructor! I haven't taken lessons in over a half century but, I understood everything you were explaining
Really Nice! You're a very good teacher, casual and easy to listen to, but professional at the same time. Beautiful playing, too!
@Nastro Adhesivo Snide much?
It's not easy, I know, been practicing tremelo for years and don't think it will ever be consistent, but sometimes ,when no one is listening, it just flows , but not at will, maybe just luck. Great to see a lady keeping classical guitar alive.
Nice tutorial!! Very informative, insightful tips for a challenging technique! Plus an attainable, original piece to play instead of the alternative of possibly being overwhelmed by Recuerdos and/or Limosna.
That' s nice, your tremolo composition at the end and thank you for your teaching. It has been systematically and very well explained.
The most difficult part of tremolo technique is how to portray the
fellings behind in each piece, anyway thanks the method teaching master the technique.
We play classical guitar for years so glad young and pretty ladies willing to share this treasures.多谢你！
Thank you very much, Hannah. I appreciate this excellent lesson and also your composition made freely available. Best Wishes always!
Great tutorial and good to know people value the guitar as an instrument.
Your learning a very proper and valuable style of playing.
Classical provides a deep understanding the theory of music.
Hi Hannah! My name is Andrés, I'm a guitarist and Argentinian! I thank you for the information you give in this video! They helped me to unlock the tremolo and take a step forward with this beautiful technique!
I really can't put into words what you helped me.
Although it was months of work to do it, I feel that these exercises helped me to move forward with greater fluidity when playing the tremolo!
I don't play as well as you do! I hope one day to become as good a guitarist as you!
A big hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
So happy to hear that! Glad this helped
You’re a good teacher as well as a great guitarist. Thanks for posting.
thank you! I'm happy to hear that!
Though I learnt classical guitar with a teacher who was Narciso Yepes` apprentice here in Argentina... I could never grow my nails hard enough for them to play really fast... They just kept breaking and breaking no matter how much warm sunflower oil I dipped them in.
I kept playing electric guitar and bass... Today I play a lot of speedy things from metal shredders like Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Walter Giardino. But I know someday I`ll buy a classical guitar and start once again with the right hand technique exercises at full speed... My mother comes from Spain and she was born in Gallaecia... not too far from Asturias. So you could say I have it running in my blood.
Nice video, really helpful and wonderful insight on this difficult art. You`re a wonderful tutor.
Greetings from Argentina!!
amazing! Hope you get back to classical guitar since you have such an amazing history with it! and thanks for watching :)
Great lesson
Happy to find this channel.
Great stuff.
Very helpful indeed, Thank you for taking the time to teach us property. I watched about 10 videos about tremolos before I found yours, but everyone was very fast.
Beautiful, you touched my soul…..❤️
nice teaching and beautiful étude!
Love your teaching method
I know that I am in no way qualified to try and advise you on how to improve your technique, so I just wanted to SHARE with you something I read in the Aguado method. He teaches to stop directly behind the fret (as much as comfortably possible) because it requires the least amount of energy when compared to, for example, stopping in the middle of the frets. So that you can have more energy to play longer, and so you don't have to press too hard in general. The more relaxed, the better, right? It requires so little pressure. I thought, just in case you didn't know this, that you might want to know. I only noticed this towards the end, when you played your ballad.
( I type these words humbly and respectfully to you.)
I appreciate you teaching us this technique. Your performances are always precious and so very peaceful. It's like heaven.
GB you and Phil.
Hi Hannah. Thanks for posting.
Your videos're very helpful.
Thanks for the class and thanks for the beautiful song you have written to us. Congratulations
Thanks Hannah
Just downloaded Starshine. Now time to practice
Congratulations on the excellent explanation.
Most beautiful , instrumental and delightful. Thank you 🙏
Hannah, This was so helpful to introduce me to tremelo. I have avoided such pieces but I will start practicing the exercises you showed an work on your piece. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Hannah, I am an old man, but I am learning much from you, including this video on the basics of tremolo. You mentioned an advanced lesson... if/when you ever have time again. :)
Marvelous teacher. Thank you 🙂
Hi Hanna... Thanks for providing the tremolo practice song "Starshine". It's my go-to practice piece when I want to spend a few minutes several times a week focusing on tremolo.
I love the final powerful final C-Chord in bar 19. It sounds like that big stong sound a symphony orchestra makes as it's final "note" (chord). I guess this is why guitar is sometimes called "an orchestra in a box", as it can emote that feeling of an entire syphony orchestra in a single instrument.
Thank you again!
You're very welcome! I'm so happy to hear that it is helpful!
Wow, great moves Hannah! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Hannah! It's very interesting. I'd love to learn how to play tremolo. Warm greetings from Bali - Indonesia.
You can do it!
Thank you, Hannah!
🙏 thanks 👍😊
BTW, the intro you played at the beginning was wonderful! I could only hope to do tremelo as well as you, and so softly, too! Awesome!
And I liked how you said (in another video) "the world can create all kinds of reasons for you to not become a musician, but if you work through it, you'll be rewarded in ways you couldn't imagine." (Paraphrased a bit, I think.) That's very encouraging! It inspires me.
Good lesson, thank you! Jeffro 🤪
Very good tutorial- thank you
Thank you Hannah. I have seen many tremolo tutorials but I must admit your approach has really helped me.I guess one is better off with a metronome to have a smooth approach
Your tremolo piece, “Starshine,” is lovely! Thank you, Hannah.
Gracias Hanna
Very GOOD, THANK"S HANNAH, PETER !!!
Beautiful song!
Very good work you wrote. Impressive
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this very useful video
Hannah, I was looking for a simple yet musical tremolo piece that presents a few challenges. With fret changes, barre work, and a great finish, your "Starshine" fills the bill. I hope you compose additional studies leading up to mastery of the technique. Thanks!
Thank you Hannah - really useful technique.
LOVED the little piece of music, wish it was longer !!! Funny how I associate tremolo with other styles of guitar , nice lesson...A1 as usual !
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked the etude 😊 luckily everything sounds beautiful with tremolo added

Very nice tremolo etude you wrote.
Great video Hannah. This will be my first attempt of trying “tremolo”, and I think it’s well presented.
Thanks for the work you’re doing; it’s certainly helping me personally.
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for the tremolo lesson. I will try to follow your practice techniques.
Yeah!!!!! Beautiful voice
Thanks Hannah, this might enhance me to learn this style! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for the good lesson. Hugs from Finland
You are so welcome!
You are a fabulous guitarrist, congratulations!
Excellent demonstration and instruction. Thank you so much.
Awesome.
Fantastic musicianship
Excellent lesson
Glad you liked it!
bạn hướng dẫn rất nhiệt tình cám ơn bạn tôi cũng rất thích kỹ thuật này tôi sẽ cố gắng học, cám ơn bạn thật nhiều
Thanks Hannah. Awesome
Nifty! Thanks.
Thanks Hannah. Lovely presentation & bcoz of this, I will be practicing so hard. I have always admired the tremolo style. Much appreciated.
You can do it!
Your tremolo is very smooth and clean. Awesome!
Thanks so much! 😊
This. Was. Marvellous. I’m away to practice with some hope in my heart! Thank you!
Thank you Hannah for sharing your talent and your technique for learning to play with tremolo. I have been wanting to learn it. Great video.
great video.
Thank you. This is something I have been having a great deal of trouble with. You gave me some good tips!
I'm so glad!
Hannah thanks for the exercise you compose for us. I have progressed a lot with my tremolo after your encouragement. I can play the whole Recuerdos now. It's not brilliant yet, but after a few more months of polishing I think it will be reasonably good. During my learning process, I found that the last bit of Recuerdos is good for starting the tremolo exercise as it has easy LH fingering. The 2nd easy LH bit is from the beginning of the major part till the end. That's to say that the major is a lot easier to start with. The minor part, which is the beginning, has difficult LH stretch which take a few months for the fingers to get used to. I think that should be left till the end. The slurs can also be ignored at the beginning, until we can play reasonably well.
This look like good informative video for tremolo.
Glad you think so!
"Starshine" is amazing. The tremolo really brought out the emotions.
Thank you so much now my tremolo is working helps a lot
Great to hear!
A very beautiful maestro ❤❤❤❤❤
Very well done !
Glad you liked it!
Just discovered your TH-cam video. You explained it so well and demonstrated so beautifully. I am motivated to give it a try. Thank you......
Beautiful piece. One of the hardest pieces I played.
Great lesson, thanks for posting
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this very useful video and for composing and providing your beautiful tremolo piece!
You are really mind blowing. Excellent tremolo technique, looking forward for more
Good teach. I picked me up a new acoustic guitar from Taylor. But it is a steel string. I noticed tremolo is so much harder on western type guitars (Grand Auditorium) as the strings are not as far apart. And rest stroke is almost impossible with thick fingers...
Amazing lesson.. Thank you👍🏻
lovely
Thank you for this! Not quite up to tremolo yet myself but lots of good info to help train up lol
클래식기타 소리 너무 좋네요 연습해보겠습니다 고맙습니다
Had an injury to my arm and lost a lot of function to my pinky and ring finger...sucks because I used to use the PIMA technique but never quite mastered tremelo. Need to retrain my fingers! Thanks for the video
oh so sorry to hear that! Good luck and always go slowly and make sure you don't hurt your fingers further. Patience and you'll get it!
It’s a good support for beginners.. thanks a lot ❤️🙏
Thank you. Really great demonstration!
OK I just try it now. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!! I'll show this video to my students who are studying tremolo! Thank you again!! 🙌🙌🙌
Good lesson. Congratulations. 👏👏👏👍👏
awesome lesson!
Really nice. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thanks! I noticed improvement right away.
Awesome! I love to hear that!
I just found out that classical guitar strings are further apart from each other than in steel-string acoustic guitars, with that being said, would it be possible to achieve a clean tremolo on the acoustic guitar (especially on the G and B strings)?
That’s an excellent question. I hope you get an answer.
It works for me, but I'm not that good at this technique yet
Muy buen video gracias, saludos desde Palma de Mallorca.
Great instruction for those who play guitar with the beautiful tremolo effect used in pieces like Terraga’s classic.
Hannah, I have been trying to get tremolo to flow for what seems years. I have looked at all the videos, from what seems like dozens of musicians, followed their advice, including your excellent one. Some how, correct hand position, fingers moving, I can play it slow as you instructed, and relatively fast 80 ish but it still sounds like individual notes, not a continuous flowing rhythm. Is there a secret that they don’t tell us? Are there some people who just cannot play it, no matter how hard we try?
I am learning recuerdos de la alhambra, a very beautifull piece, by Tarrega. The technique looks very effective, I will try it..
Thank you! Cheers!
@@HannahMurphyguitar thanks to you .I am from Venezuela. I also have a channel. I am teaching some advices of the venezuelan valse Natalio From Antonio Lauro. I am not a one of your guitar level, but if some one teach to other that one will learn, and that is what I do. The more you teach and play the more you learn.
Thank you 🙏 for the lesson!
I was just searching for some right hand exercises. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your tremolo excersize with us, it's so infinitely more pleasurable to practice tremolo in this piece, than doing it with muted strings running up and down ad nauseum ^^
Also you've got nice way of teaching, I hope to see more tutorials from you in the future! :)
Thank you, Hannah, for the lesson.
I try to learn playing guitar on my own and I didn't know the french names are used:
P (Pouce/Thumb);
I (Index);
M( Majeur/Middle finger);
A(Annulaire/Ring finger).
Music is somewhat universal! :)
