Hey !
I loved this piece !!  I'm also developing the tremolo technique..its tough huh,lots of practise ?! You're obviously making good progress which is nice to see :) (or hear even !!) How did you get to the speed at which at you're doing it now ? Theres so many techniques on the guitar to learn isn't there..I find myself working fairly solid in one area for a couple of weeks ( like the tremelo ) make some progress but then realise my technique has fallen in another area ( like hammer-ons / pull offs) Its hard to get an all round balance if you know what I mean ?!! What are your thoughts on this ?
Anyway very nice piece - you've inspired me to practise my tremelo...thanks for sharing !

Hi Kev, thanks for listening and kind words. As for the tremolo, there's no shortcut I'm afraid, just practice,practice,practice. I don't use the classical p a m i tremolo though, I play p i m i  because that's how I figured it out by listening to records. If I want a longer tremolo I play p i a m i like the flamenco players do. I don't like to focus on one technique to long because you'll inevitably neglect other aspects. I don't practice techniques on their own but write a tune in a particular technique to keep it interesting.

Reading the previous posts here, they have used up all the superlatives! Good thing I have a Thesaurus! Sublime, unsurpassable eminence of superlative perfection. Yep, I love this piece! Listening to you play the guitar is a real pleasure.

Tremolo is such a hard technique.  It sounded good, but is bit uneven in some places, but I need to hat off for such an attempt.  The guitar sounds beautiful!

Very nice touch Rik! Yeah..What Malcolmb said!!

well done Rik. Really great performance and sound.

Hi Tim, thanks for listening, glad you liked it.

Hi Terry, I'll settle for lovely, thanks.

Hi Mark, cool that you don't like it, glad you liked the original.

Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words. My piece "nocturne" has been a work in progress for 20 years and has been a jazz piece,travis picked,flatpicked, played like a classical composition and now tremoloed, and survived. It could return in the form you suggested, or something completely different, so stay tuned for the next episode of Nocturne, the tune that refused to die.
