Hi David,

I am practicing Gary's Blues and don't find it easy to get the tremolos sounding on the very short notes (see bar 9 where tremolo is indicated after dipping the 3 draw). Are these 'short note' tremolos a necessity to pass LOA 4? I don't have an issue with tremolo on the longer notes (see 4 draw in bars 2/3).

Thanks,

 

Mark.

Hello Mark. Yes, it is a good

Hello Mark. Yes, it is a good challenge to get tremolos on those shorter notes. It's not required for LOA, but keep working on it, it will make your phrasing sound smoother.
