Answer is simply,3 notes per beat=8th triplets,6 notes per beat=16th triplets. Now basic thing is to understand the beat and split it into right pieces. Once again,try 3+3 combi for 16th triplets.

Ok, I will. I think that my problem is that I just can't SPLIT the beat in half. But I will force myself to get it. I'm doing great with my new metronome, but a soon as I try it over a BT, I get lost! This is so frustrating, but I'll do my best. Ok, back to practice...

Simply turn ON metronome on play the same 6 notes in loop, you'll get it after some while,don't worry,just don't stop! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Before I always used to practice with a bit of distortion and delay and it seemed to me that everything I did sounded good. I was wrong! Playing clean with just a little reverb showed me that most of what I was doing was crap (still is, btw ). Now I only practice "clean" and my timing and picking have improved a lot. Maybe it's less fun, but progress is much easier to track! What do you think? Eddie You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

So you did right thing with moving on clean sound and practicing that way. Just don't forget to use distortion from time to time as well, with clean you don't have to do much muting and you'll still wanting to play some stuff on dist. So use both for practicing,clean and dist. Add even acoustic guitar to your routine,that's good way to upgrade your picking much more. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
