Members 1001gear Posted November 7, 2013 Members Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh yeah, those aren't so much for playing but for paying attention to. For learrning, maybe something like Chicago, Color My World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jeremy_green Posted November 11, 2013 Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 Triplets really are everywhere in music. It may help you more to get the sound in your head first. A really good way to hear the subdivisions is by using words like they do in India with the konokol. Try this: Tap your foot 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4With each tap say in even syllables "ta-ka-ta"So the first syllable "ta" happens when your foot hits the floor on the beat.Make sure you give equal length to all three syllables Practice saying this a lot and really get that sound in your ears. Try saying it as you listen to a song then.You will hear it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jed Posted November 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2013 Here is an exercise that I created for triad arps as triplets. You may find it useful to get the feel of triplets under your fingers once you get the speed up a bit. The patterns repeat in a 5 bar sequence as they move up the fretboard.cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
