Thanks, FB.

What a lovely job. My tremolo is terrible, but if I manage to play Recuerdos De La Alhambra decently, I would love to try this Dr. Zhivago piece.

Thanks Steve.

Steve, I think you actually have that backwards. Re tremolo technique, this is much simpler than Recuerdos. The way I play it it's a triplet 8th note tremolo. p-m-i. Rather than the 16th note tremolo, p-a-m-i. I felt it flowed better that way.

On the other hand, I'm glad that the performance here made you THINK this was hard to play.

All comments appreciated.



My arrangement is based loosely on Chet Atkins' version.
The audio is a little compressed due to the automatic gain control on the old VHS tape recorder this was done with.
I was happy with the performance though, so thought I'd share it.

Superb paying great arrangement
