5:00 that's where knowing proper piano form has been helpful for learning guitar. Appreciate the video

[@Blackbird58]

Can't wait to grow my nails! I can see that for me at least, I would have to restrict myself to going through the exercises for at least a month to become anywhere near capable of producing a decent sounding tremolo but that is precisely what I intend to do when my nails are long enough! Thanks for this video Beatrix, it's really going to help!

[@camilo_murcia]

A 25 min Tremolo lesson OMG, amazing. This technique is the most beautiful for me thank you so much:)

[@beatrixguitar]

Thank you, glad you like it! And yeah, this is also maybe my favourite technique on guitar, so sweet :)

[@oliverf.rupert5408]

Thank you Beatrix. For these exercises. ❤

[@beatrixguitar]

Glad you like them, hope they will help you to make more comfortable with this technique!

[@samiam3297]

Thank you. 🤘😔🎸

It was very useful, thanks👍🌹🌹♥️

[@reinaldopuig557]

Hello, it has been one of the best videos I have seen related to Tremolo, you explain in detail all the factors that influence the execution of this technique, I have also seen other of your videos and they are fantastic, thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you.

[@oscaraguirre602]

Hi BEATRIX, nice to see your video, An affectionate greeting, nice to know your Channel, thank you for your video, I am a student who is fond of the guitar, your explanation will be of great help, thank you, your follower and student, Oscar.

[@MAFL77]

Actually, there are no muscles in the fingers...:P No, seriously, you are an incredible teacher, guitarist, and overall musician! Thank you for making our music journeys even more beautiful and exiting. My sincere respects to you.

Hi ! Great video !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@vihuelamig]

It was supposedly Segovia who said that tremolo should be considered an arpeggio on one string. Of course he may not have been the first person to state that. I'm poor at tremolo largely because I've suffered tension problems for many many years. On the very odd day it works. Snail practice can help enormously. I agree with Beatrix that the 'a' finger (and pinky tension) can be problematic. My suggestion is to 'train' the 'a' finger, think accuracy rather than having a mindset of building big strong muscles. Don't forget that 10 year old girls can play some fairly advanced repertoire and they have less than half my hand strength. Just my thoughts. Feel free to criticise.

[@beatrixguitar]

Thanks for letting me know, I never knew Segovia also said this. I hope your tension problems will get resolved!

[@Cutzzed_]

Thank you Beatrix for this guitar lesson! Tremolo is amazing but I play so slow and I don't know how I can become faster. do you have any advice because I'm stuck ( not only for the tremolo technic )

[@beatrixguitar]

Thank you! Well playing fast is a long process so try not to rush it. I have an older video on my channel about how to play faster, have a look!

[@ChocolateBear2017]

Thank you so much for this video it has been game changing. Can you tell us what kind of guitar you are playing on ?

[@EN-yx6ln]

Hi, Thank you very much for your awesome videos. I like the way you hold your guitar. I noticed you have a device attached in the back of your guitar, wondering if that device support how you hold up the guitar? And where to buy it? Thanks much! You’re an awesome teacher!

[@roywhiston5658]

These exercises are going to take me quite a while to get use to. I have a hammer finger injury on my right hand ring finger…🤷

[@klausbuchmann7746]

Check out Douglas Niedt as well. How to manage the tremolo. You are done.

[@peterruiz6117]

Actually, your hand movements reminded me of a creature in an ocean reef... A colorful beautiful creature.. I know NOTHING of what your saying....I just love your playing and your accent....

[@beatrixguitar]

Thank you, glad you enjoy my work!

[@fightingblind]

I use my pinky in my classical playing 😮

[@beatrixguitar]

You do? That's great! Most people doesn't

[@fightingblind]

@@beatrixguitar was actually just practicing gymnopedie No 1 and thought of this 😁

[@MARKWHITE007]

Do you start with the pinky? I’m working picking with four fingers but I’m starting with the index and on a bass.

[@adamputu5448]

Hi Hi Hi My Guitarist ❤

[@HumbleIdeas]

Hi! May I know what can we do about the fact that i,m,a fingers are different lengths, so how is it possible to balance the time evenly when they are not equal distance on the string?

[@johnwronski9852]

Love your picking! I am familiar with Travis picking and would like to expand to classical style picking. Where is the link to buy the metronome? What store?

[@beatrixguitar]

Travis picking is so cool! Glad you are expending your skills to classical, I'm sure after travis picking you will see a lot of familiar things :) Sorry I forgot to put the metronome thing in the description, classic me :D You can buy here: www.soundbrenner.com/musicians/beatrix-kovacs/ And I made this other video a year ago about the watch, like a first impression and unboxing, feel free to check it out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqwaY2Fd7Ooock

[@mpanga2916]

Good mng to you madam let me hope your fine and cool this mng well thnx for the good work well I have few things to ask one is how do we play sharps and flats on classical guitar The other question is about practicing books because most of the books just teach and few exercises with them I will be very glad if these questions are put into consideration thnx a lot God bless

[@leonardopoerio4007]

What you call "planting" is a "staccato" picking, is it correct?

[@beatrixguitar]

That’s right, both naming is correct!

[@harrytrombley4052]

Hi good lesson. ? Are you using artificial nails if so what kind are they. Your nails look really good, Harry

[@beatrixguitar]

Hi Harry, thank you so much! I am using gel nails, yes. I've been making them for myself for around 10-12 years now so I kinda learnt how's the best for me, I tried different materials and technique and now the gel I'm using is Crystal Nails Xtreme Clear. But here is a more detailed video I made about nail making: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKeTf3p5o7Gpas0

[@Skryden]

I hope my comment will get to you. Is it okay if i rest my pinky on the body of the guitar when im trying to play a piece?? I’ve been practicing tremelo for a week now. Barely see anyone resting their pinky who’s doing so. It makes me insecure about my speed of playing a piece

[@beatrixguitar]

Yeah well, I specifically talk about that habit in one of my other videos, but I highly advise you not to do it. At the beginning it may feel like it’s helping you but it will prevent you from improving after a certain point and to play fast pieces 😞 have a look at my picking hand related videos on the channel! And hey, good that you are asking these questions, I’m sure you’ll get to find your own technique!

[@Skryden]

@@beatrixguitar thank you so much for reaching me out, i will remember that moving forward

[@thediminished98]

Hi, I like your work but I have a bi question. Why now 4 finger tremolo? If you want it to sound sustained like a violin it should be the way to go. Is it because some harmonies can be too harsh with the attack of a guitar?

[@adiladil217]

thanks for this effort can i do tremolo whithount a nails

[@beatrixguitar]

Yes you can!

[@larrygast4790]

How long does it take to master tremolo?

[@palbgocas8355]

👋

[@kalypsomusik5882]

Hello, thank's for this video. So much does exist on YT but your's is pretty good. The rasquado exercice is maybe the best exercice. One question if i may have one is : how did it take you to master this insane technique ?. As a classical guitarist (not a professionnal one), i have decided to get more involved on this technique last year exactly on August ; just one year !. I'm using all the pattern but as you mentionned the guy A is the most complicated to master specially with the M one but i don't give up. Recuerdos is a fabulous tremolo piece but not the only one, the Regondi's one are awsome. I'm working on Reverie Op19 and for a couple of days now on Air Varié Op1 which has a tremolo part two.

[@beatrixguitar]

It took me maybe 2 years to make it somewhat even but I was already playing for years when I started tremolo. But then again, it took several years to make it very soft and to make it sound effortless (it doesn’t feel effortless hahaha). I know it’s probably not what you want to hear but it takes a long time so you have to come up with a way to enjoy the process more and think less of an end goal. I’m so happy to hear when someone picks up classical guitar, it truly is a beautiful instrument 😊 have fun!

[@epameinondaspapamichail9896]

Thank you for your lesson If you were talking slower and tou were playing more exercises slow the lesson would be more understandable 19:27 and usefull for those who are not english narive speakers A lot of talking!!!!!!
