I. Warmup
Pepe Romero Warmup: (30 min)
Spidercrawl (5min)
III. Technique
Tremolo: (40 mins)
- I learned to: keep hand/fingers at a slight angle to the strings. I can do speed bursts that almost begin to sound like tremolo, but I can see shakyness in my hand. My hand can't shake because my fingers need to stay in a precise spot to keep even articulation. Occasionally my thumb knocks my hand out of position by shaking the hand.
Take a look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tOYiRv3_rY
a. Ring finger is at 90 degree angle to strings while middle / index stay at about a 75-80 degree angle
Rasgueado Practice (10 mins)
- Sounding smoother, hold fingers at angle (e and continue to work on ring finger + pinky isolation.
Double Notes: (S: 1.08) (4 mins)
- Same problem with
IV. New Repertoire
(24 mins - No Notes)
V. Play Around
(~15 mins. Listening to some recordings of my pieces, it seemed my high e has a less than pleasant twang sound.)
