Tremolo Finger Drumming

Technical Practice
By rapidly alternating percussive attacks of the thumb and second finger of the right hand, a tremolando drumming type sound can be effected on the strings.

Notes
This technique can be applied to a single string or alternated between the pitches of a chord, and moving lines.

Dynamic Range: pp-mf
Difficulty: 3-4
Special Notes: This can be a very extreme effect if thimbles or similar objects are placed on the fingers.
