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.
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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!
It's crazy how much RUclips 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!
@@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.
Hi! Thanks for your comment! For my basses use the D’Addario SDN-3B Dynacore set (amzn.to/3cgo5xm) and for my trebles I use the CGN-3T set with a composite G string (amzn.to/2FEUu4V). The G string looks like gut, but it’s actually some monofilament material that allows it to be a little thinner than normal and to project more. It sounds, and feels way more balanced to me than the regular nylon G string. Hope this helps!
¡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!
I know, it’s definitely a challenge. Please be patient with your progress. The thing that made the biggest difference for me and allowed me to progress the fastest was focusing on my relaxation. It really helped me to keep my hands and fingers as loose and light as possible. Same thing with the shoulders. The next thing is just to be as consistent in your practice as possible, but don’t overdo it. Small amounts of improvement overtime is all you need. I hope this helps!
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.
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.
Hi Stefano! Thank you for your comment! Yes, I think it can be used for both acoustic and electric guitar but I think you would have to play either very lightly or put acrylic on your nails. The metal strings will wear your nails out very quickly. I hope this helps!
Finger size or length is not as important as you might think. Andres Segovia had fat stubby fingers. Conversely, RUclips 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!
Thank you for that amazing tutorial. Just getting into the tecnique. I notice that i use my little finger as an anchor just underneath the strings and helps me find an even handposition. Is that something I should learn to avoid? I do have large hands so it does not limit my ability to play all the strings.
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, you should definitely avoid placing your little finger on the top of the guitar as an anchor. It may feel OK for now, but once you start to combine techniques quickly, it will inhibit your playing. I also have large hands and use my right forearm as an anchor. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the lesson! What are some easier songs to play/practice tremolo with? Could you also recommend an etude or two that work the m and a fingers on the right hand? Cheers!
You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for your comment. One of my favorites is Carcassi’s Op 60 No 7 - I have a video on that on my channel as well. It’s more of an introduction to the Tremelo, but still a beautiful piece. Another good one is Sagreras’ “Trémolo Etude 4, Book 3.” For m-a work, try Carcassi, Op 60, No 2 with pimamama instead of pimamima. You should be able to find these for free online. I hope that helps!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic I have played that Carcassi piece Op60 No. 7. I love it! I also like playing it with a pick! I will check out the Sagreras and the other Carcassi piece. Thanks again! Love your channel!
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!!!

Hi Diego, thanks for your amazing contents!
I was wondering what kind of string do you have in this guitar. Is the G string a gut one? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your comment! For my basses use the D’Addario SDN-3B Dynacore set (amzn.to/3cgo5xm) and for my trebles I use the CGN-3T set with a composite G string (amzn.to/2FEUu4V). The G string looks like gut, but it’s actually some monofilament material that allows it to be a little thinner than normal and to project more. It sounds, and feels way more balanced to me than the regular nylon G string. Hope this helps!
Hank you
Well well well if it isnt Andres Segovia.Nice job...!
¡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.

Happy to help! Yes, I’ll be working on that one soon!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic thanks a lot! I’ve started practicing the exercises you taught for tremolo and I feel some progress already. Thanks again.
That’s awesome! Patience and consistency are the keys.
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.
So beautiful.
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!"

Your explanation it’s very useful.

Thank you Diego! So to play nicely the tremolo technic it’s better to play on classic guitar. Ciao 👋🏻
