Are you FAST ENOUGH? Learn Triplets on guitar

Learn how to play triplet rhythms when soloing on guitar. When you take a solo, do you feel that you can play "fast enough?" most rock and pop songs aren't actually that fast, but when the tempo does get up there, sixteenth notes can be a challenge. Sometimes triplets are a better option. I argue that triplets often sound better than 16th notes anyway. Outside of our guitar world, most audiences prefer rhythm and melody over pure speed.
Learn to play triplet lines like Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, and Toto's Steve Lukather.

I´m not really good at playing fast but I think that triplet thing will help, with a lot of practice of course😁 Thanks for another great lesson! I´m not sure but I think Joe Walsh uses triplets in the solo of the song Dirty Laundry by the Eagles, the live version here on youtube. But I might be wrong.

perfect must be the Canadian in me, getting the speed up is tough and maybe saying the words triplet in your head could help

I could hear the triplets in your test straight away, but the others, the non triplets were a bit more tricky to define. Good exercise! Speed for the sake of speed does nothing for me, melody and coherent composition wins every time...imo of course :)

3:13 so to be considered decent you had to be above 120bpm? what of us older learners with slow fingers, or vice versa? can we even get fast?

@GuitarLessonsVancouver 8 ай бұрын

I dont think so. There are loads of great guitar players who don't play fast. Melody and rhythmic interest are more important for most genres like rock, blues, pop etc
