It takes a fair while to build up the RH mechanism for tremolo: and a lot of brain power in the beginning. So do not hamstring yourself by learning new chord shapes <strong>&amp;<\/strong> a new technique. Break them down. Practice tremolo on open strings: 1, 2, 3 (yes all three nylon strings, Recuerdos de la Alhambra requires all of them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tarrega Recuerdos de la Alhambra guitar - how to part 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-e2qOo4tPoc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you out, I did an article a couple of years back for Classical Guitar Magazine, which gave out some tips on how to practice tremolo for Recuerdos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-classical-guitar-rocks wp-block-embed-classical-guitar-rocks\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"StZvJIY1WN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/recuerdos-de-la-alhambra-cg-magazine\/\">Recuerdos de la Alhambra &#038; CG Magazine<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Recuerdos de la Alhambra &#038; CG Magazine&#8221; &#8212; Classical Guitar Rocks\" src=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/recuerdos-de-la-alhambra-cg-magazine\/embed\/#?secret=XbUBKnRG1d#?secret=StZvJIY1WN\" data-secret=\"StZvJIY1WN\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want More?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want more, and there is more, consider joining the CGrocks community.
