  Tremolo or "Real" Vibrato
Academically, tremolo is a fluctuation of amplitude applied to a sound of constant frequency.
The pure tremolo, or flactuating amplitude, (such as found in "Fender" amps) will add frequencies of 434 and 446 Hz, in equal proportions and phased so that together they alternately add to and subtract from the steady 440 Hz waveform, without shifting the phase of the resultant wave.
Thus the wave delivered to the loudspeaker may be pure tremolo, for example, but before it has left the diaphragm very far, it will have components of vibrato in it as well because of the phase shifts that occur as the various component-frequency waves travel across the room, or vice versa.

The tremolo is one of the most beautiful techniques of the classical guitar.
Basically, the tremolo is created by playing a bass note with the thumb followed by three repeated higher notes; traditionally the ring (a), middle (m), and index (i) fingers play the higher notes.
By playing the tremolo on one note – and by listening very carefully - the student is able to hear more clearly the quality of each tone produced and also control any rhythmic imperfections.
