Chords for Tremolo (part 2), speed up with a beautiful chord progression, Classical Guitar Tutorial by Thu Le

_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ Have you watched my first video of tremolo yet?
If so, I'm sure you're aware of some basic rules and exercise.
[G]
If not, please go and check it out, because this is a continuation where I will share
with you how to speed up your tremolo with an enjoyable chord progression.
_ We all know tremolo imitates the prolonged sounds like those produced from [A] the choir,
violin or cello.
_ What we would like to hear is a continuous sound, evenly distributed.
_ So this is what we would like to hear.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
And we don't want to hear this. _ _ _ _ _
It sounds [Ab] like a hospital broken leg.
So it's very [G] important from the beginning to play slowly with a metronome, I suggest.
And remember, anything to do with speed or increasing speed, metronome is your best friend.
_ Talking about tremolo pieces, everyone related to Requedos de la Hambra by Francisco Tarrega.
It's a very famous piece.
It's beautiful, but also very difficult.
And I would suggest, if you're new to tremolo, don't struggle with the difficult pieces.
That will come later.
You always have time.
Let's do something for now easy, still enjoyable, and help you just to concentrate on the right hand and technique.
_ _ So today I will share with you some really simple chords that even if you're a classical player,
or pop player, or acoustic [A] player, you all know.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ Bb, [A] _ A.
[Em] I chose these [G] chords because it has a beautiful Spanish feel.
It's cheesy and very easy.
And also you got to practice the tremolo note on the [Cm] first string for _ the first two chords,
and second string for the last two chords.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
And now [Bb] I move to second string.
_ I _ _
[A] _ already _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ mentioned in the first video of tremolo, but still I would like to remind you again
[G] to always have very little motion, _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
especially when you play on the second string,
[Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ to avoid your fingers hitting the wrong string on the first or the third string.
And always remember to prepare the fingers in advance.
[G] This is also an important step to speed up or to avoid uneven. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] So for the chord progression, here are the bass strings that I use.
[G] For Dm, [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] C chord, G. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] I always remind my students to practice slowly.
_ If you want to play fast well, you're going to do slowly properly.
_ _ [G] You can't run well if you can't walk, right?
So let's start the tremolo with 60 beats per minute.
That means every beat you play four notes of tremolo _ [A] _ _ is one beat.
[Gm] So let's practice with me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ And then the [A] next day you could increase to 80 beats per minute. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then let's try 100. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ And then if you really, really feel comfortable, _ let's go for 125.
And I think this is quite a [A] decent and enjoyable speed to do tremolo. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] To spice up the chord progression, I'm going to play the first chord.
In chord [A] progression, you can always make different variations.
For example, changing the tremolo notes.
_ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ Or playing [D] in a higher position. _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Dm] I _ _ _ [G] _ hope you enjoyed the [G] exercise today.
Please follow up the next exercise of tremolo.
I will talk about how to add dynamics and colors.
Till then, practice well [Dm] and good luck!
