Kristofer Dahl22nd January 2008This is awesome Muris - I will definitely practice this one! Could proove to be a good vibrato exercis as well. 
Mark.22nd January 2008Nice exercises 
Dejan Farkas22nd January 2008Excellent exercise, those simplest are the best 
Crazyfret22nd January 2008Intresting exercise Muris, tho my fingers are gonna be on fire towards the end 
Good to hear the contrast in the guitar rythym as you progress through the lesson.
shellshock191122nd January 2008Just what I need right now! I can never get those quarter note triplets so sound equally, so I gonna work hard on this one.
Joe Kataldo22nd January 2008Useful for primer as a warm up exercise too!
Crazyfret22nd January 2008Shellshock got a good tip to get your timing on the 1/4 note triplets.
Instead of counting 1,2,3 try saying the word 'evenly' and play the string on each syllable i.e.
E - ven - ly
1 - 2 - 3
Works for me

Gerardo Siere22nd January 2008Cool, you are so creative man
Muris Varajic22nd January 2008Thanks guys
Why not 32th triplets?
Actually,I started this lesson as beginner one so I guess even 32th are too much
but anyhow,let it be
Jerry Arcidiacono23rd January 2008Yes, brilliant and very useful!
skennington23rd January 2008Thank you Muris, I promise, I'll spend more time here!
FloridaGator23rd January 2008Thanks Muris for the lesson. MANY more lessons on timing and syncronicity would be much welcomed! It is the most critical element in becoming more than just a average musician in my humble opinion.
Thanks again
shredmandan23rd January 2008Just Great.This is something i wondered about for awhile and this was just an excellent lesson to explain time.
ballistic3123rd January 2008Ahhhhhhhhh I SEE HOW IT IS NOW.....This lesson is for me..isnt it,,,its ok i can take a hint...lol just kidding lol .......I am so in need of timeing with solos...but if this is a beginner lesson im going to need more picks cause when we get up to the 10000ths tripplets i have a feeling just 1 pick wont do....lol......great lesson as allways
eddiecat23rd January 2008Hy Muris! Thank you so very much

And I'm really happy that all GMCers agree!
BTW, I received your pick today!
Sorry, I'm not going to frame it,
I'm going to use it!
Thank you once again, I'm going to work
on this one for a long time!
Thank you once again, it's amazing,
exactly what I hoped for...
Cheers, Eddie
Muris Varajic23rd January 2008Glad you like it guys,specially Eddie 
kyldeee23rd January 2008This is awesome. I've had some minor problems with playing 16th triplets, but I think this is going to help me figure them out. Thanks again for a great lesson Muris
Muris Varajic24th January 2008You're welcome
Reaver24th January 2008What no 64th notes? Just kidding, that was great Muris =)
eddiecat24th January 2008Man... This one's SOOO GOOD!
It's simply AWESOME!
Juan M. Valero25th January 2008great lesson !!! Timing is really important in our playing, and this lesson is a great way to practise it !!!
eddiecat30th January 2008Easy to hear the difference!
But to feel it while playing, specially triplets,
man... that's another story!
Aarrggghhhhhhhhhhhrrggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!
This is gonna take ages!
Cheers
Unleash-The-Shred1st February 2008This is an awesome lesson.
eddiecat4th February 2008It definitely is!
Muris Varajic4th February 2008Thanks guys
tolga26th February 2008dude I dont get this 4th triplets.I mean how do we play it?cant figure out where the click suppose to be at..
tolga26th February 2008ok no tricks I guess just the beat is different each time in your video but I was listening on gp5 and metronome is aiways on 70 with the same beat so I was like what the hell goin on here:)ok no tricks then,thanks.
Muris Varajic26th February 20084th triplets ARE hardest to get,specially in bars like 4/4 etc.
You have to play 3 notes in 2 beats,or 6 notes in whole bar.
I tried to show it easier and so matched drums and bass to play same triplets.
Leaving it on regular 8th or 4th would be really hard for you guys.
tolga26th February 2008hmm so 3 notes in 2 beats it is.ok thanks bunch I knew something was odd:)
Muris Varajic27th February 2008You're welcome
Carlos Carrillo27th March 2008great lesson Muris!!!
Muris Varajic28th March 2008Thanks
DethKlok5th April 2008This is great. Some people might also find this technique helpful in working on their timing, especially in combination with this lesson:

midnight22nd July 2008Very helpful lesson. Can't quite count the 32th notes, but I'll slow it down...I'll get the feel eventually.
Muris Varajic22nd July 2008That's 8 notes per beat,slow for the start,yeah.
midnight22nd July 2008Thanks. Yeah, I got the 8 notes per beat, I just literally can't count it at the slowest speed.(lol) I'm using Guiter Pro to slow it down...I'll get it.
Muris Varajic22nd July 2008I see
Fingers crossed,you'll get it.
TheOldOnes5th August 2008I am glad you put the link in answering Guitar1969 question in the forums - I must have missed this lesson but this is exactly something I am looking for to add to my exercise regime. Thanks Muris.
Muris Varajic5th August 2008Glad if it helps, you're welcome!
Ognjen Protic5th August 2008Easily explained difficult thing! Great!
Muris Varajic5th August 2008Thanks Ognjen!
Alexiaden9317th June 2009Wow ! This is amazing ! Definitely a must-have for all guitarists ! Awesome, Muris !
Muris Varajic18th June 2009Cheers Alex, let me know if I can help tho!
Xecuter8818th July 2009Good lesson, but I have to criticize you a little. In stead of 4th triplets you're actually playing 4ths in 3/4 time. Same for 8th triplets and the 16th triplets.
I would be much more rewarding (and difficult ^^,) if they actually where triplets. Playing 4th triplets in 4/4 is much harder than 4ths in 3/4.
Muris Varajic18th July 2009Nope, I think you got it all wrong I'm afraid,
tempo (and time signature as well) stays the same all the time
which means that all durations (including triplets) are correct.
But what I DID is that I adapted drum groove a little
for each timing so that beginners could play it eventually.
Pattern over 4th triplets does sounds like 3/4 indeed
but you need to look at the whole picture,
those are perfect 4th triplets compared with tempo and original 4/4 time signature.
Xecuter8819th July 2009Yes, I agree. The time is correct, there is the same amount of milliseconds between each note. However I find it harder to play to a backing track going strictly in 4/4 and having to think 4th triplets. Forcing your head to think, not just listen to the drums in the background.
But still, this is hard. Struggling a little with this myself. Another thing that is hard is going back and forth between 16th and 16th triplets.
Muris Varajic19th July 2009Of course it's A LOT harder to play those triplets
over straight 4/4 drum groove
but I needed to adapt it for some less experienced players as well.
Xecuter8820th July 2009Yeah, I thought so.
Maybe its an idea for your next timing exercise video.
Muris Varajic20th July 2009A bit more advanced lesson than this one might be cool, why not.
Xecuter8821st July 2009Oooh might I request how to play quintuples (correct? 5) and septtuples (again, correct? 7)?
Muris Varajic21st July 2009Quintuplets and Septuplets are hard to count just like that,
what people often do is that they use word (or sentence)
made of 5 or 7 "pronouncing parts".
Per example wikipedia, when you beak it parts
you get: wi, ki, pe, di, a.
Now say that word broken in parts over one beat
and you'll get exact picture of quintuplet.
For septuplet it's easier to find short sentence made of 7 parts
instead of looking for word made of 7 parts.
An example, I will take it to the bus.
That's 7 short words that cannot be broken in parts
so we have 7 parts sentence as well.
Say that sentence over one beat and there you have it, septuplet.
