    Hi, thank you for this! I have been using cross- string trills for a transcription of Chopin's Nocturne, no.20 using exactly the sequence that you describe. I hadn't thought about the wider possibilies regarding scales and arpeggios, brilliant idea.

    I think I first picked up this r.h. finger pattern for trills from David Russell; it's a great technique. I do recommend getting used to other r.h. finger patterns for cross-string trills as well, even if you do end up favoring one particular pattern. Also it's definitely good to keep working on same-string trills. Keep the tool box full. :)

  • @allan2098

    I used to play them AIMP as well, but after seeing Stanley yates in concert, I learned the MIAM. The thumb used on a trill also creates an uneven sound. Also worth mentioning is the IM pattern when each finger is dragged across two strings. Students should be encouraged to use trills very sparingly and tastefully.

    Until this moment I've always used imim and have been dissatisfied with the effect - I now see there's a major benefit using aimp. Musicians have long pointed to weak trills as a common shortcoming for classical guitarists.

    Thanks Aaron. This is very helpful. One of the things on my musica; to-do list was to learn cross-string trills. In your tab/music sheet I downloaded, the first bar shows a trill on the 1st and 2nd string a-g-a-g played with a-i-m-p. However under the final g, there is an A in the bass played on the 5th string open. In the 2nd bar you have a similar situation but with the trill ending on 3rd string a, while simultaneiously there is a 6th string F to be played in the bass. It doens't seem practical to play a high g on the 2nd string with p simultaneously with playing the low A on the 5th string also with p (or any other finger). If such a situation were to occur in a musical piece, I assume it would be OK to substitue i or a for the final note and play the bass with the p, as per usual.

    • @BeyondTheGuitarAcademy
      @BeyondTheGuitarAcademy  2 роки тому +2

      Good question. You'll notice in those scenarios those preceding notes are notated as "grace notes" (indicated by smaller numbers in the tab, or smaller notes in the notation). It's common to play the bass note at the same time as the grace note, or in this case - the first grace note. So in both those cases, you actually play the bass note at the beginning of the cross-string trill. The notation makes it look confusing, but you can hear that in my performance. Does that make sense?
      BTW it's Nathan 😅

    This AIMP pattern is hard to get used to, after doing PAMI for tremolo for so long. Tremolo or cross string trills, which do you reckon is harder?
    I can do each individual AIMP very quickly, but I find it hard to string a bunch of AIMP's together.

    Since most trills involve only going up and down a half step, I don't get how cross-string trills even work. For example, when playing Greensleeves in A Minor, I play a trill that goes from G# to A, played on the third string. Since an A on the fourth string is on the 7th fret, yet the G# on the third string is on the first fret, it's literally impossible to finger so that the trill could be executed cross string.

    • @BeyondTheGuitarAcademy
      @BeyondTheGuitarAcademy  2 роки тому

    Ногтевое извлечение звука утрачивает мягкость звучания струны и теряет её голосовую округлость, напоминая более лютневый тембр, теряя глубину в низком регистре, а именно этим гитара и отличается от лютни, своей глубиной и певучестью.
