Regarding the triplet, is it fine to play them DUD DUD... or should I use constant alternate picking? (I know the answer will be do both!!)

Thanks in advance Carmine Hey Carmine, please try to stick completely with 100% alternate picking for this lesson itself, as it is designed purely for AP That picking stroke you mentioned is a good trick that does work and I've used that pattern myself.. but try to get your AP more solid before instroducing more unorthodox picking patterns if you can. However, it doesn't mean you shouldn't use that approach when playing any other time.. after all, guitar playing is personal. So, myabe both would be the best answer !

I tried to say tri p let but doesn't "feel" natural. Carmine You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I tried to say tri p let but doesn't "feel" natural. Carmine I ususally follow a 1,2,3 1,2,3 or a 1,2,3 4,5,6 routine. I focus on the first beat of each 3 to stay in time Eventually you can just focus on the quarter note beat and know that each time you're playing 3 notes for each 1.
