Mixing it up: confusing the right hand

Learning Tremolo for Classical Guitar through Recuerdos

I decided to really mix it up today in working on my right hand tremolo technique. With the metronome set at 120 and playing with the metronome beats to sound on the first and third strokes, I tried every possible combination I could think of for playing the tremolo -

pami

paim

piam

pima

pmai

pmia

(You can also start on other fingers besides p as well)

After that, I tried piami, and pamimami

If your practice is getting stale, throw in a few of these to test your right hand coordination. pami should seem much easier afterwards.
