A wonderful performer and a very well centered and lovely person!
Did you notice she does her classical tremolo only with p-i-m? Yes, just thumb + two-fingered. In another interview she explained and showed in detail her tremolo technique. I had learned tremolo by adapting from 5 and 6 note arpeggios (blame it on Segovia hehe) and had a tough time with the 4 note classical tremolo until I went to the 2 finger (plus thumb, of course) tremolo that Ana demonstrated and explained well. Now I don’t confuse my 5 note flamenco tremolo nor my arpeggios with classical tremolo. Problem solved and solved well. I can use equally well p-i-m or p-a-m but the standard p-i-m-a just makes my fingers unhappy. Whether it is due to all that flamenco tremolo and/or 6 note arepeggios, I don’t know. But Ana solved my classical tremolo. And there is no problem maintaining rhythm/speed, that is, keeping in compás whether the tremolo is classical or flamenco. Thanks Ana!
I love it when a musician rearranges a piece and out does the original artist. It would be a rare instance that I would select a Beatles tune, given other reasonable listening choices. The next time someone raves about the Beatles, I’ll have more ammunition to back up my assertion that they’re overrated.
Excellent interview and guitar performance.
