Baron, Thank you for addressing this subject. Your steps to developing tremolo are really excellent. I will be working on this process and I am looking forward to improvement!
Not sure what that definition applies to, but in music it’s about speed and repetition. Volume can be a part of it, but not necessarily. By your definition most tremolo that we identify wouldn’t be tremolo because the volume often stays steady.. ?
Hi! I'm new to the channel and new to mandolin. This was a nice interesting video. I have played guitar for many years now and played a lot of fast tremolo with a plectrum and I was taught by my guitar teacher in the 80s to NOT play with your arm but with your wrist. Wrist playing saves you energy. However, I see that you play with your arm. How is your take on this? Is there a specific reason to play with your arm and not your wrist when it comes to playing mandolin? I hope you understand that I'm curious to learn and connect the "dots" and that I'm not some whining person who is looking for wrongs all the time. Peace :)
I wonder the same thing sometimes as a right-handed fiddle player struggling with vibrato. It involves the same rapid motion and motor control. But it seems to be the case that people can eventually learn to do these techniques with their non-dominant hand if they really commit to it. Just allow yourself some extra patience and practice a lot 💖

Thanks ,excellent tips
Tremolo is a steady increase and decrease in volume. Vibrato is a steady increase and decrease in pitch.

00:58 Great stuff!
Hi Baron, this is off topic a little...Is that a 10 string Sobell cittern in the background?
This was great! Thank you! (Sub'd)
So, a challenge that I have is being left handed and wondering if I’ll be able to control my right arm and wrist to be able to get a good tremolo.

(Tries playing the tremolo at an angle for the first time) WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
