If you make a vibrating motion with your finger, it will change the
tension of the string just so slightly, giving you a slight tremolo
effect. Of course it's not as pronounced as you can do eg. on a violin
or other fretless instruments (where the tremolo is not really a question
of changing the tension of the string but its length), but clearly audible
nevertheless (especially if you emphasize it).
Of course you could also pitch-bend by stretching the string upwards or
downwards, but that's not really a tremolo.
