Try This to Make Your Triplet Fills Better Instantly

Eoin Hayes January 31, 2020

The post-it version of today's lesson is "practice 2/2 in triplets to make your fills better".

So, why didn't I just tell you that? It would've take two minutes. Well, that probably sells this lesson sort.

But it's not quite "play exactly like Chris Coleman, Aaron Spears, and Sean Wright" either.

If you're expecting transcriptions, this is not the lesson.

The truth is somewhere in-between: and, in a world where I need to entice you to watch as much of my videos as possible, I wanted to take you inside my thought process -

- What got me thinking about triplet fills in the first place

- Why Sean Wright got the sound of groups of 4 triplets in my head

- How that translated into 2/2

- Why that immediately benefited my fills

- How to do it yourself

Which is NOT to say this is the last word on groups of 4 within triplets. There's 3/1 (or 6/2 sextuplets), other permutations, and combinations of them.

I'll keep messing with it.

Here's my promise: if you watch this week's lesson, and practice it for half-an-hour, you will notice a difference in your triplet fills.

How about that?

See you next week
