Day 6 - Journey to Recuerdos - speed bursts

Learning Tremolo for Classical Guitar through Recuerdos de la Alhambra

I added a drill to the tremolo practice - speed bursts. I started at 120 bpm with metronome and played a note on each attack (thumb on open 6th string and a-m-i on open 1st string).

After awhile, I began alternating p-a-m-i on each beat (one beat per stroke) with p-a-m-i on a single beat (four strokes per beat). After doing that for awhile, I then would alternate between p-a-m-i on each beat to p-a-m-i on a single beat to p-a-m-i on a single beat and back to p-a-m-i on each beat. I worked up to three consecutive speed bursts in a row. Basically, your speed bursts get longer. This was a great, little drill.

I'll lay it out just so no one is confused

p----a----m----i
beat-beat-beat-beat (hopefully this keeps the formatting)
This designates a beat on each stroke.

speed burst =

p-a-m-i-p-a-m-i
beat-----beat
This designates a beat per tremolo stroke (pami)
