QUOTE (Guitar1969 @ Nov 20 2008, 07:11 PM)  I have been working on Timings and Triplets, as well as working on alternate picking sppeds - Working on Muris' Timing lesson. And I can handle the 8th note and 16th note triplets okay (Mainly because of Kris Metronome lesson), but the Quarter Note Triplets are throwing me off - What's the best way to count these since the notes don't fall evenly on the beats(6notes over a 4 beat bar), and on 16th note triplets is there another way to count instead of : 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 as Kris does as this can get difficult for changes within the measure since there's no differentiation between the beats( 1 2 3 4) or is this how all of you do it. Thanks Imagine these are 8 16th notes in half a 4/4 bar S S S S S S S S The next one shows where the quarter triplet comes (see accent)
Pick just those 3 accents and you played a quatret triplet in half a 4/4 bar I edited this post 3 times. First I made mistake twice and second I didn't know how to type tab in the forum This post has been edited by Emir Hot: Nov 20 2008, 09:40 PM -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Looks like you were typing while I was editing the post
 I noticed I made mistake and I fixed it.it is actually very difficult to show it like this. This tab text is not accurate. I will make a picture with notes and post it. ----------------------- ok again top row is 2 quarter triplets and botom row is 4 eight triplets. All that in one 4/4 bar

The way I count a 16 triplet in one beat is like this:
ta ta ta - ta ta ta so for a whole bar with 4 beats I count: ta ta ta - ta ta ta ta ta ta - ta ta ta ta ta ta - ta ta ta ta ta ta - ta ta ta -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Those triplets are not hard at all if you're playing alone.
But if there's metronome and it counts 8ths per example or even worse,you have a drummer who plays everything but triplets, then it really might get tricky. Good idea is to take a word or phrase that you can split into 3 parts, they say it and play over it. Per example HERE I GO. Should be like this. 1 2 3 1 2 3 HERE I GO HERE I GO Each Here I Go should be played over half of the 4/4 bar, so you have 2 of them over one bar,try it.
