Hi, welcome to my video tutorial on tremolo.
My name is Paolo Gemignani and I teach guitar here in Vorarlberg, a small region of Austria.
The tutorial that you will see today will show you how to play the PAMI tremolo,
where P stands for Thumb, A stands for Ring Finger, M stands for Middle Finger and E stands for Index.
We'll go right away into the video clip and I'll come back to you later to say goodbye.
A very important aspect of playing a successful tremolo is the [E] thumb.
After the thumb has played the 6th string, it leans against the 5th string, like this.
Notice the joint.
It's not like this, but like this.
Another aspect is placing your army fingers not under the thumb, but slightly behind.
[C#] Not under, but slightly behind.
[G#] Notice that [C#] the ring finger is locked [C#m] onto the 1st string.
[C] The middle finger and index finger are right close to it.
So that when the thumb has finished playing,
[E] the ring finger strikes also,
followed by the middle finger and the index, like this.
[C#]
[D#] Another aspect [C#]
[E] that you need [C] to be very careful about is the position of your hand.
Notice how every joint of the fingers is bended,
[C#] and that the hand shape would [N] be like when you have an egg in your hand
and the shape around it follows the curve of the egg, like this, curved.
Now [G#] let's try to put some more notes into this played by the thumb.
Let's play the E minor chord and the thumb [E] would play the 6th, leaning on the 5th,
the 4th, leaning on the [Em] 3rd, and the 3rd, not leaning at all.
[C#]
Between every stroke of the thumb, you play the army fingers, [E] like this.
[Em]
[E]
[Em] [E] [Em]
[C#]
Now let's try to add some chords into this exercise.
To the E minor we add the D, the C and the B7.
With the E minor chord, [C] the thumb [E] plays the 6th, the 4th and [Em] the 3rd.
[E] [C#m] On the D chord, the thumb plays the 4th, [D]
the 3rd and the 2nd.
[C] On the C chord, it plays the 5th, the 4th and the 3rd.
On [B] the B7, the 5th, the 4th and [A] the 3rd, like [Em] this.
[D]
[C]
[B]
[C#m] Now we'll add [C] the army fingers between each stroke of the thumb, [E] like this.
[Em] Let's
[D]
[C]
[B]
[Em] [E]
[C#] see now how it sounds as we [E] play it a bit faster.
