Hello David,

 

Can you please recommend me some exercises I could include in my daily routine that would help me develop, "polish" and automate my tremolo (both on the inhale and on the exhale) ?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Angel. I'll share the tip given from Rod Piazza to one of my students. My student asked Rod what he should do to get better at the playing the chromatic. Rod said, "Play it three songs in every set." No exercise... just use it... it will get better over time.

Being impatient is a good

Being impatient is a good attribute... it's what drives you to be a better player. The ones who become great players also enjoy the journey... enjoying the process. You WILL get better at what you're practicing, you just don't know when. If you KNOW that you will get better, then you can really enjoy the journey... your goals will be accomplished. This mindset is key.
