Nope, that's a perfectly valid interpretation. I was just experimenting and discovered I liked playing it the way I described.

<p>My bad: tr~~~~~ is "trill", not "trem". AFAIK, Trill v Trem for plucked instruments may be interpreted as the same thing, esp. when the trill is extended (more than just a couple of notes). For individual notes, it should be interpreted as an ornament.</p>
<p>In messing about with that section, I find that <em><strong>not</strong></em> including the quavers sounds better (to me). IOW, Trem just the crochets = better. YMMV. (yes, I find using the UK terms to be easier to type than "1/4 note"…</p>

<p>The tremolo strain is pretty easy as far as these things go. And not too long as to cause hand injuries. </p>
<p>Yep, totally ripped from Sgruggs' as we know nobody played arpeggios on banjo before he played Reuben by accident while turning brass into crystal. In fact, I read that before Sgruggs the banjo was merely a comedic prop that no two players played alike.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Trapdoor2 said:…</cite></p>
