Tremolo like in „Somebody Cares“ by J.E. Mainer

I once tried to play tremolo with my western guitar and I found it really hard. A friend of mine said it sounds much better with a classic guitar. Does it make sense at all to learn tremolo with a western guitar? I guess in country music it‘s more common to use a mandolin for this effect, but I‘d still like to learn it on my guitar (since I don‘t own a mandolin).

I would suspect it would be quite difficult as the strings are so far apart, nothing beats a tryer.

I get that too but then there is a tiny arrow on the right bottom and that takes you to YouTube

Sorry... I must have done something wrong with the link. Maybe it‘s just available in Germany but that would be strange.

@katharina  I don't think you did anything wrong. It happens sometimes.
