Good idea! Thanks. Maybe I will do this if I don't find another solution.

I don't worry about my fingers. I worry about my right hand. Picking one string is completely different from picking two strings. Especially when playing fast and/or tremolo. I want the electric...
Thanks for this tip.
They don't seem to offer 8-string mandolas.
Hello,
I have a 40cm (15.75 inch) scale mandola. The major advantage of this instrument is that I can use exactly the same fingerings on it as on the mandolin. The major disadvantage of my mandola...
Thanks for pointing this out. To come back to the topic of this thread: I would be very interested in your opinion about how to tremolo tuplets. Is there a convention? Are there several conventions...
If that is the case, then I would certainly not call it accelerando and ritardando.
I couldn't hear the extra strokes in the given examples. Maybe I didn't listen thoroughly enough. It would be...

My question was not about Swedish folk music. The polska was just an example.
I believe in metered tremolo. Apart from the fact that I am not able to play "free" i.e. rhythmless tremolo, I...
Thanks to all who participated in this thread so far.
As concerns the tip to subdivide the triplet 1/4 notes evenly, I had also though of that. The problem with this method is that 1/16 notes...
Hello,
How is tremolo used with triplets and other tuplets?
Swedish polskas often contain 1/4 triplets. The
attached file gives an example of this. As I play some of the polskas
