Hi Society,I've been trying to figure out the tremelo bit of TB2's "The Bell",
and this is what I've come to so far. I think it's pretty close. I'm a newbie
to the world of tremelo (opened up to me by finding out that "Etude" from The
Killing Fields was actually (also) a beautiful piece of guitar music), so I'm
not certain it's the "correct" way to play it. Specially the up-beat note
played by your forefinger (i) (not that easy IMHO), but it sounds right. Also,
I've got the TB2 concert on video, but alas - to improve on my life quallity
I've ridden myself of my TV. Memory however tells me that you can actually see
Oldfield playing this bit close up, so maybe one of you could try looking at it.
Casper.
