Depending, both techniques can coincide. Dedillo is striking the string
with both the up and downstroke, or both the contraction and extension, of
a finger. Tremolo is the rapid

My two-penneth worth is that we have two main ways of learning about
dedillo from contemporary practice. One is from the variety of
techniques used in vihuela/guitarra-derivatives in Latin America,
such as the charango and various others. The second is the Portuguese
guitar that has

No. Dedillo is a way of playing passages of that sort using only the index
finger, presumably in the manner of a plectrum. It's occasionally marked in
vihuela sources.

attractive way to state the melody in contrast to a

Hi-
my theory is that dedillo was used first because it is what you do when you
are used to playing with a plectrum and decide to try fingers. That way, the
thumb is held against the index finger as if you are holding a pick, but
then you use the index finger tip instead of the pick that could be
Interesting topic!
So you want to know how to play dedillo? :)

This is an interesting point. I have never heard anyone perform the
dedillo successfully, with the exception of Ronn McFarlane, who (if my
memory serves me correctly) used it on some Milan pieces in an older solo
CD of his.
Other than that, I know of nobody who now uses it.

Dear Ed, Rob and All:
Isn't all Indian sitar playing dedillo? That is, I believe the strings are
plucked exclusively with the right-hand index finger, onto which is fitted
a pointed wire loop, which serves as a plectrum. (Shades of Francesco's
silver thimbles!) There must be somebody out

one could work up a good sized blister on the end of

much better.
