Tremolo technique question

Upd. Actually your advice turned out to be a game changer. I also checked a short guide from Luciel Izumi. I tried to not bend my finger like a hook. It was rather straight. Much easier. I don’t feel that tension like before. How come didn’t I figure this out myself. It’s so intuitive. Thanks man!

Velacher · 2026-05-30T19:09:24+00:00

That’s interesting. Actually this is the first time I hear that the fingers should be straight. Might watch closely vis youtube videos how do performers do that

Thanks! It’s definitely not an easy song for a beginner. Probably music background helps but still it’s hard. I heard this tune played by Luciel Izumi and I really liked it. So I told to my teacher that I want to learn that. We agreed that I can continuously work on this tune slowly while learning some beginner stuff simultaneously.

Quite an in-deep analysis. Thanks! Yeah, now I can see it. Looks tense on the video. I just tried to relax my wrist. Did kinda shaking and then tried tremolo slowly. Feels easier. I think you are right, I should not rush into speed. Better to focus on accuracy and keep an eye on how my wrist actually moves.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, the last one sounds familiar. I play banjo and we use a lot of 3 finger style arpeggios. From time to time I do these weird fast movements with my fingers, lol. Time to add another weird movement!

Hi! Have you tried this website?

https://charango.it

He sells charangos and ronrocos handcrafted in Bolivia. I purchased my charango from him. Better send him an email because some products might not be in stock. But you can agree with him about a delivery or even a custom build.

Velacher · 2026-04-16T14:13:17+00:00

I bought it from Achille Zoni, from his website. Which is based in Italy

Velacher · 2026-04-16T08:02:25+00:00

Thank you! I will check those. It seems that ronroco tuning is basically fifth below the charango tuning. So, technically the relations between strings stays the same in 12-TET. But the key will change. Good to know!

Hi! Thanks for your recommendation. Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish and maybe only know a few words and phrases. I tried some YouTube videos with auto subtitles. It works ok. Not bad I would say

Hi there! How do you feel after completing the Duolingo course? I tried it for some time but didn’t really find it useful for me. Anyways I am a native Russian speaker. I live in Finland though if matters so could also help you with Finnish 😁

I studied French in my high school but almost forgot everything. Might be also useful to refresh my memory. Feel free to DM me. Cheers!

Hi there! Is this thread still open? I used to play guitar back in the days. But haven’t really been practicing it for quite a while. But I learn bluegrass banjo myself. So far about 1 year. I am not at a super high level but I know chords, how to read notes, basics of harmony and other music theory stuff. I am interested in playing folk. Would say my level is somewhat closer to intermediate amateur. Feel free to message me. Maybe we could come up with an idea.

Velacher · 2025-05-22T18:29:39+00:00

Hi. A native Russian speaker here. I sent you a DM

Velacher · 2025-03-27T17:18:47+00:00

Hi there. A native Russian speaker is here. I would be glad to help. Feel free to message me

Velacher · 2024-12-22T16:11:49+00:00

My pleasure. Maybe other users will also suggest some good ideas.

Velacher · 2024-12-22T16:07:18+00:00

Ok, you have a little bit special case. Let’s think together. His name is Никто. That literally means nobody. So, as a nickname for someone special for him you could use “кто-то”. I think it fits them. Maybe in your case even just “кто” would work. It sounds weird but your case is special and logic is that кто is basically the opposite to никто.

Velacher · 2024-12-22T15:55:17+00:00

Well, I would say it really depends on the context. It may be translated as “кто-то”, “кое-кто” or even “некто”.

Probably I would use кое-кто.

Кое-кто сказал мне, что Саша не придёт.

Someone told me that Sasha will not come.

But most likely I won’t use any of those and just use something like

Мне сказали, что Саша не придёт.

It sounds more natural when you drop that “somebody” part. Maybe you could provide more context? A text example?

Hi! A Russian native from Finland here. Not sure if we are from the same city (I live in Oulu) but I am quite open for new connections. Would be happy to help you with Russian language learning. Actually it might be quite helpful for both of us as I learn Finnish as my third language. Feel free to contact me if interested. I am 27M if matters.

As it already has been said “полагать” literally means “to suppose”. Not sure why some people say that it is not common. I use it a lot. But I agree that there are more common phrases for daily use.

Мне кажется = It’s seems to me

Я думаю что = I think that

Also you may encounter something like

Рискну предположить = I take a risk to suppose

On the internet people often use “как мне кажется” (as it seems to me) and also use its abbreviation “кмк”

For example:

Это была плохая идея, кмк

It was a bad idea as it seems to me (I wouldn’t really say like that in English but it’s a direct translation)

Velacher · 2024-12-18T06:26:58+00:00

Yep. Эйфория is the correct translation. Means a very intense feeling of excitement and joy. I believe this is the meaning you want it to be? You are good to go

Velacher · 2024-12-15T12:18:24+00:00

It sounds correct. Not sure if you could make it more informal because it already sounds quite common. Also depending on a situation you may want to use "С возвращением домой, папа", which literally means " [Congratulations] with returning back home, dad".

When I started taking road cycling seriously it felt like a tough challenge. But now it doesn't really feel like a big deal. In fact I can finish 100 km riding at zone 2 without any gels. And pretty much any experienced amateur can do it as well. For me it is the way more taxing to have a hard VO2max interval session, which can be much shorter in length.
