tremolo

Tremolo is a modulation effect that creates a change in volume, while the "tremolo arm" on your guitar is actually vibrato, which is varying pitch. These both can be used to create similar rhythmic effects, but the way it is created is much different.

Tremolo is notated with three slash marks on the stem of a note, or located directly over the note.

Tremolo, in electronics, is the variation in amplitude of sound achieved through electronic means, sometimes mistakenly called vibrato, and producing a sound somewhat reminiscent of flanging, referred to as an "underwater effect".

Tremolo is the rapid repetition of one note, or a rapid alternation between two notes or chords. It is indicated by strokes through the stems of the notes or chords. If the tremolo is between two, the bars are drawn between them. Tremolo symbols are also used to notate drum rolls.

Tremolo is a music performance technique in which a performer plays an individual note or two alternating notes as fast as possible. Tremolo is an Italian term that means "trembling," which captures the trembling and quivering sound created by the fast repetition of one or two notes.

Bring it back up for tiny spring. Also if you do a trail and drop the whammy bar that sounds awesome. Sounds great with harmonics.

It can, however, be accomplished through the technique of tremolo. This powerful musical tool simulates both a treble voice, which plays a flowing melody line, and a bass voice, which plays a rhythmic counter-melody.

Tremolo, where have you heard it before?

• Otis Redding – “A Change is Gonna Come”
• Radiohead – “Bones”
• Rage Against the Machine – Guerilla Radio.

two Multi-note tremolos. Multiple notes, usually two, are played in sequence, similar to a trill. However, trills usually indicate a fast alternation between two adjacent notes, such as G and A, whereas multi-note tremolos can be between any notes, limited only by the capabilities of the instrument.

The sound of tremolo represents slight fluctuations in volume. Singers can produce a tremolo effect by adjusting the airflow through their vocal tract.

Vibrato is technique on stringed instruments where by the pitch moves higher or lower by a small amount repeatedly. Whilst normally done by gently wiggling the finger which is fretting the note, using a tremelo bar makes this easier on the fingers of the fretting hand and also easier to use the effect on chords.

In short: Vibrato deals with change in pitch. Tremolo deals with change in volume.
