Performance Tip: Decay

I assume that you're using tremolo for long-held notes at the end of phrases (you should if you’re not). Let’s add a decay in volume as well. Start that phrase-end note at normal volume and then decay over the length of the notated rhythm until it disappears. It's rare that a final note of a phrase just stops—It decays until it dispersers into the mix of the band. This makes for a MUCH more musical phrase ending.
