Default tremolo

Hi guys,

I have this question about tremolo...

When I strike the thumb there is usualy a small delay before I come up with the first index stroke.
For example... it is p i a m i right?

now, the time gap between p and i is bigger than the ones between a m i.

I have listened to this happening with some artists but other recordings show no timing difference between any of the strokes.

What is normal?

any ideas?

thanks

PS I think that timing uniformity should be the goal...

Tremolo is a difficult thing...

The gap you can close to practice as slow as is needed to close the gap.
from there you can practice faster.

Also practice on the second (b) string is very helpfull to force you to make the movement of the fingers smaller.

Nowadays you hear a lot of differents in dynamic in tremolo. compare for instance Paco Pena with Gerardo Nunez......

In my oppinion, you should learn it to play as clean as possible, and from there you can do what you prefere.

Yes, you are right, it is PIAMI
