Update on Recuerdos/Tremolo Progress

Right now, I'm working at 120 bpm on metronome and setting metronome to sound on p and m of p-a-m-i or p-i-m-a. I'm also doing speed bursts at 120 bpm. I practice equally on 1st and 2nd string. I've noticed my tremolo improving on the 2nd string which I'm very happy about since playing tremolo on all but 1st string is noticeably more difficult. I'm working about 20 minutes a day on tremolo technique (right hand only) and another 20 minutes with Reminiscence.

Originally, I had limited this blog to 60 days but the journey is probably going to be closer to 6 months. Important lesson I've learned is evenness is more important than speed.
