8 Steps To A Perfect Tremolo Course

Taught by renowned guitarist 

Stephanie Jones

Tremolo: one of the most stunning sounds on the classical guitar, yet one of the hardest to master. Develop your own flawless tremolo with Stephanie Jones's 8 distinct steps to learning this technique! The course begins with a few simple exercises to get your hand position established and fingers moving in a relaxed and efficient way. Then, Stephanie helps you develop musical aspects of your tremolo including how to balance the volume of your fingers and thumb as well as maintaining a consistent and controlled sound. The course is capped off with Stephanie's approach to learning a tremolo technique where she applies all of the steps to the composition "Cancion de la Hilandera" by Agustin Barrios!
