"Waterfall" solo classical guitar tremolo technique

Hi All, whilst trying to practice my tremolo technique, or lack there of ; ),  this tune popped up. Wish I could play this better. Listen at your own peril :

Sounds really nice to me.  Beautiful and soothing.  Very well done. 

And what he said, cause he can say it way better than I can. :)  

But you're not really playing that all at once are you??!!  

This is marvellous, Rik. I'm in awe of your talent - despite the flaws that you notice yourself it sounds magnificent (I really don't notice much wrong with it at all). The actual composition is great too, there are quite a few parts that made me think "that was unexpected, I love it!"and the whole piece kept me listening.

Excuse my ignorance but is the tremolo technique the same as what's required to play something like Recuerdos De La Alhambra by Tarrega?

Cheers,
Terry.

Hi Terry, thanks, glad you like the composition.  You are right, Recuerdos de la Alhambra was  composed by Tarrega as a tremolo study. Wish I had learned to play tremolo properly before I figured out my own method ; )

Hi Paulo, thanks, I dabble : )

Rik

It's true, honest, all at once and at the same time : )

 Hi Mike , I could but there are enough strange noises on this already : ) Thanks for the wow ; )

Rik

BEAUTIFUL Rik! I love tremolo

Hi Mike, ; )

Hi Bill, thanks, glad you like tremolo : )

Hi Lynn,thanks for the kind words, never would've thought my music could become inspirational. I just like playing the guitar and coming up with new things to play. better start a new one then ; )

Rik

Hi John, thanks, ; )

Every now and then I am amazed by the sheer talent of the musicians here...and this is one of those times. 

well done. 

Hi Wineshop, thanks, glad you like it.

Hi Herb, thanks, you're making me blush. ; )

Hi Tim,thanks, tremolo in classical guitar is repeatably striking the same melody note while simultaneously playing arpeggios with your thumb. In this case, one note with the thumb followed by three repeated melody notes with index and middle fingers of the right hand.
Tremolo , from the Italian tremere meaning tremblng. Not to be confused wih the incorrectly named "Fender tremolo bar" which should have been named "Vibrato bar" ; )

Hi Grant, thanks, glad you like it.

Hi Scott, thanks.

Hi Rik,

Beautiful! It's always a pleasure to hear you play. 

I like this a lot It reminds me of Recuerdos De La Alhambra. I always had trouble with this style. The hard part for me was getting the tremolo louder than the rest. It's not easy. It was harder for me with these big meatcleaver hands! LOL!

Well done! I enjoyed listening!
