Tremolo excercise - finger independence

Magnus Falck-Wahlström

 

I learned a great tremolo exercise; plant the A finger on 1st string. Then play pmi triplets on the second string. This will teach the hand not to jump. The jumping( that we're often unaware of ), is mainly happening in the middle of the tremolo. Hence the emphasis on Pmi here. Another great "not jump study" Is to play tremolo with pmam.

I used to hold a small superball curled in my right hand pinkie. When it dropped, I'd have to chase it all over the room.
