Lesson Overview: Applying the Tremolo Sequence to Scales

Lesson tips:

Applying the tremolo sequence (p-a-m-i) to scales can help your right hand technique in general
You can use apply this to any set of scales you want (Segovia scales, exam scales, etc.)
This reveals any rhythmic and dynamic inconsistencies in your right hand technique
This is much more challenging than just alternating with two fingers
Give a little bit of accent and weight to ‘p’ so that you’re always aware of the strong beat
Make sure that your arm moves across the strings to bring your hand to where it needs to go
