This weeks lesson is on triplet picking...just one more of our little etudes to build your skills!

A "Triplet" is where we divide the beat into 3 smaller parts or "subdivisions".  Count them like this:

ONE trip let TWO trip let THREE trip let FOUR trip let

The count happens on every metronome click.  What is most important is that you are alternate picking all of the way through the exercise, like the other lessons in this series.  If you are doing it correctly you will be playing down picks on beats "one" and "three" and up picks on beats "two" and "four".
