Hello Gab,
OK, you may class this as cheating but I think it is a good idea as a training aid to get the real feel of triplets as I think it's hard for the beginner's mind to do an equal three part split on the beat. Now if my maths is correct, I set the metronome to 3/4 time at 240 bpm, this should equate triplets in 4/4 time at 80 bpm. I used the metronome to get the feel while I was playing along with the backing. Do you think this is ok to do for the first stages to get the feeling of pure triplets and then try again without the metronome but, when recording without the metronome, play back with the metronome to see how well you have done? PLAYING WITH METRONOME https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/triplets-90bpm-3-using-metronome PLAYING WITHOUT METRONOME https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/triplets-90bpm-3-without-metronome Cheers OOOPS! Ignore the file name that says 90bpm, they WERE 80bpm DOH! This post has been edited by Phil66: Jul 14 2015, 08:43 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hi mate, this is getting better! Yeah, that metronome idea is a good trick to get familiar with this rhythm. However I noted that your performance is similar on both versions, and maybe even better on the "without metronome" one, since the other is a bit like "hurried". Do you note it?

Thanks Gab, I could hear a difference but couldn't work out what it was I found that if I played along with the metronome for a while it helped me to "understand" the feeling of a triplet. Off out for a midweek meal, back later hopefully -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Off out for a midweek meal, back later hopefully yeah, maybe it's good to use it at first to feel the triplet and then play without it. Good trick. -------------------- My lessons

ASSIGNMENT V
Ok guys! This new assignment will be based on a GMC lesson from our archive that combines some of the rhythms that we've been covering here: 8th notes, 16th notes and triplets. The lesson is great for alternate picking but it's also a very good excuse to work on your timing skills. I recommend everybody to start with the slower backings and go for the normal tempo only if you feel comfortable with the previous ones. This is the link to the lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ Feel free to share your takes over the slower backings to let me monitor your progress. Who it in? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent. Thanks for the take!
I think that you should work on a slower backing because you are still not able to play the faster parts at the current tempo. So please go for the first or second backing shared on the original lesson, work on it for a few days until you notice that you can play the 16th notes and triplets tight and share a new take, ok? -------------------- My lessons

Quick take on this:
I feel like I'm slightly behind the beat all the time. Hmmm... This post has been edited by Caelumamittendum: Aug 4 2015, 03:33 PM |

Hi Cael! Great to find you working here!
You're right, you are not going tight with this one, you tend to go a bit before the beat. This happens with each note value so you definitely need to continue working on this assignment, and maybe give a try to some of the previous ones. The tasks seem to be easy but they are not. Keeping this kind of practice in our every day practice routine can have a very important impact in our overall playing. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Farine! Great to see you working on this one!
As you've already noted, you are playing before the beat, you are not going even. Here are some tips to continue working on this. 1. Listen to the backing without playing. Close your eyes and imagine your guitar sounding even there. Do this exercise tof 5 minutes. Tap with your foot while you do it. 2. Pick up your guitar and start playing over the backing. Close your eyes and tapi with your foot. Do this two steps many times every day and you'll be able to feel the timing and go tight. Please try it and let me know how it feels. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent, it's getting better but you still have problems to play tight and clean triplets and 16th notes. Please keep on practicing every day. The best would be to isolate the trickier rhythms and work on them over the backing first, and then get back to the whole lesson.
