    Flamenco star Adam Del Monte gives a lesson on classical guitar tremolo. A nice video lesson on tremolo largely discussing pre-planting the right-hand fingers (useful in all right-hand guitar technique).

Love Weiss, especially at morning and night (?). Love Russell’s relaxed feel for the music and his awesome ornaments. Part I and II is the suite. [...]
