    Hi SoMorris,
    Thank you for your question. It is hard to tremolo without anchoring somewhere. I rest my arm on the top of the mandolin but if you comfortable resting your wrist on the strings below...

    Hi Jim Garber,
    Lovely to hear from you! The first piece I played was the beginning of Oblivion (Piazzolla).
    I added your timings to youtube and it worked! Thank you.
