[Grayson103]

Hello, My Dad saw you play at Disneyland in 2001 and taped you playing the 'William tell overture' and ever since my father has always wanted me to learn to play it, but ive never attempted it. But now that ive being playing for a few years I want to learn to play it for his birthday (not this years, and only when im good enough) and was wondering if you would ever do a tutorial or a slow up close taping of it, I would appreciate it very much, thanks.

[jblackbath]

I just can't listen to this music without thinking it's just lowering my guard so Don Vito's can have me whacked behind my back while I'm least expecting it, right there in the Italian restaurant.

[gitara77a]

Jokes of course - this does more to inspire me than anything!

Brilliant playing and such smooth transitions between strings, really excellent.

[nichmars]

inspiring. thanks.

[zorich76]

This guy is great!

[arizagafabian]

is someone else playing another mandolin to do the second????

[tremolonut]

No, it's all done "real time" on one mandolin. The technique is called "Solo Mandolin in Duo-Style," employing a tremolo melody and harp-style accompaniment at the same time. The secret, so to speak, is using one out of every four (or one out of every six) pick-strokes to play an accompaniment note instead of the tremolo note. The greatest phrasing difficulty in this technique is to make the tremolo sound smooth and uninterrupted despite the omitted pick strokes.

[arizagafabian]

Oh my god! I told my mom it was two mandolins!

I admire you!!

you have a wonderful talent! I wish I could play like you! I will try my best and you will be my inspiration!!

Thanks for bringing this beautiful music to us!!

[sneddley]

Stunningly beautiful, musically and technically even after watching and enjoying so many times.

[whitesider07]

[buihangvn]

So wonderful that I could cry ! Thank you for posting Tremolonut. Thank you for your performance Evan J. Marshall.

[pickinduck]

I love your work :D

I have been trying but haven't gotten tremolo down yet :(

I see how you play your mandolin with your forearm in line with the strings. I'm going to try that.

[bourbon]

Absolutely amazing! Mr. Mrshall has a wonderful instruction book available through Elderly Instruments in Lansing MI. Check out thier site. I wonder if Evan J. Marshall would ever film Recuerdos de la Alhambra for Youtube.

[UTBrec]

unbelievable! This is so hard to play! I take off my hat in front of you... ;)

[ksalanpang]

nice haircut!!! oh i meant nice living room performance :P

[xaav]

Admirable independance of the melody regarding the accompaniment played at the same time.

[Benwade90]

incredible.

[harrisoncrabfeathers]

unbelievable tremolo.

[Boondockflyfish]

fantastic!!!

[southcoastsounds]

Superb as always. The tremolo control is exceptional. But then one would expect nothing less from Evan.

[diptanshu]

love him, pretty unique
