Tremolo is defined as volume fluctuation, while vibrato is defined as pitch fluctuation (usually accomplished by string bending or slide effects), and they are often confused for each other; no doubt, even musical instrument manufacturers contribute to the confusion - for example, the so-called Fender "tremolo" bar in their Stratocaster electric guitars actually is a vibrato mechanism that bends the strings' pitch. Tremolo is a playing technique of rapidly and strongly strumming the strings in both directions to add a dramatic effect and to enhance the sustain of the strummed strings. There aren't any specific chords or songs that call for it; it's really up to the individual player to use it judiciously. In my opinion, tremolo generally works better for slow songs than for for fast tempo songs. The key is to vary the volume from loud to soft when and where it's used. Tremolo is used for other instruments as well, notably, the mandolin and tenor banjo, which have relatively short sustain, and works well for slow tempo songs. Most tremolo styles that I've heard of use a flat pick, but I suppose it's possible to play tremolo with bare fingers and fingernails.

I play a little mandolin and I just realised that one of the most common strumming techniques on mando is indeed tremolo. But what I have been struggeling with the last few months is what guitarists call tremolo (usually played on one string), quite a different thing and sounding differently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7O2tD3imy8 Edit: Ledward Kaapana use a index finger/thumb combo for his tremolo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiiEDuebNfM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24bH8hG4u4A Last edited on Fri Sep 12th, 2008 07:54 pm by hrlarson ____________________ I'm not addicted.
