How to play a Triplet on Ukulele | Tutorial + Play Along

[@CousinAAE]

I just wondered if you can do a triplet with a 1) Index down; 2) thumb down; 3) index up. I'm just learning and I have this book by Hal Leonard where he has instructions to do it that way. If you see this could you let me know. Your way seems to work better for me but what is the difference? Thanks.

I am a fan from Philippines! I learned to play my Uke in just 1 week with your previous "days 1-5 tutorial". and here I am again, learning from you. Thank you for being a blessing, i played a song in my channel using my uke.

[@AllForUke]

Great to hear!

[@raymondvickery6549]

Thank you Kevin! I’m definitely going to hit you up for some private lessons soon! I have been practicing every evening for an hour and a half or so. This past week I was doing the first two finger picking videos followed by this video. Next week I’ll be moving onto day 3 of finger picking. You have made learning the Uke during this pandemic so much fun man! Again, thank you so much! Ray

Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

@Dakari Lionel thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@porterdaxton8871]

@Dakari Lionel HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED :O I just hacked my ig account details after about 45 mins of using the site. Just had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth the price :) Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@dakarilionel2931]

@Porter Daxton glad I could help :)

I learned triplet strum a few months ago but I had no idea how to use it in playing 😂 This video helped me to use triplets into my playing! Thanks man!

[@sorchagrisewood1864]

you broke this down really nicely,thanks! I thought this was very complicated but you've made it seem much easier than I thought!

[@samuelmanseau6905]

Keep the smile always helps ! Great video, excellent advice to progress and get a result having fun ! Thanks !

[@TOOTSWEET61]

Hi Kev, Great lesson, I needed some tuition on the tripilite. I basically had taught myself what finger thumb combinations, I thought made that quick 3 beat sound. But this has a better sound, I like it a lot. Cheers from North Queensland Australia. I like it when you say smile. I suddenly smile and feel myself relaxing.

[@katrinreitz530]

Thank you very much! I am always searching for new things to improve my playing!

And that’s how you’re going to keep getting better. Keep that mentality and you’ll keep seeing growth in your playing. - Kevin

[@sken1000]

Thanks Kevin... been exploring this strumming technique the last few days, so great timing for your lesson. Be good to see how this is incorporated into a song 😀

[@AllForUke]

Indeed, it’s on the agenda in an upcoming series. Keep a look out for upcoming videos. - Kevin

[@kittyhedgehog]

love this strumming

[@michellelawhorn5707]

Thank you for providing this tutorial, I have been wanting to learn this for a while . Perfect 🎶👏🎶

[@AllForUke]

How’s it coming along for you so far? Make sure to go slow! - Kevin

[@brianrevell8413]

Good to get a new KZbin video from you Kevin, I don't seem to get them like I did in the past? I'll be trying the triplets later today, Many thanks & take care out there.Best wishes from the UK.

[@AllForUke]

Hey Brian - are you subbed? If so, you should be seeing about 3/week for the last several months. Lots of new stuff on the channel and website for you - Kevin - www.allforuke.com/lessons

@@AllForUke Many thanks for getting back to me, yep I'am subscribed. Must be something I'am doing or not doing. I like going back over your older lessons. Which are a real help to me. Brian

[@chavahfried]

Bravo! Excellent teacher! I learned a lot!

[@jeffcoursey4516]

Love the lessons!

[@mkafka1102]

I was having a bad day and just chilling on youtube found this, and when you said just have fun and keep the smile while playing uke that's kinda made me wanted to play more and more. Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@AllForUke]

The vibration created playing music can really be therapeutic if you learn to just have fun with it and smile. Thanks for sharing your story M - Kevin

Thanks Kevin for yours tutorial, Pura Vida! ✌

Thank you 🎼😊

You're welcome 😊

[@spaztekwarrior]

Thanks, Kevin:)

[@aprilpartridge2150]

Before I felt like triplets were difficult, but WOW! Suddenly they're no longer intimidating. I can do it!

[@AllForUke]

What was your process for practicing these? Glad to hear you’re feeling good about Triplets :) - Kevin

[@aprilpartridge2150]

@@AllForUke I didn't really have a process 🤷 that's probably most of the problem. I also play violin and bowing is much easier for me than strumming.

[@eceberkyurek]

i think i just watched the best uke instruction video... also - smiling did help :)

[@ekaterinaS2409]

U can do uninformative video? I haven't seen, Kevin. Your videos're really helpful and informative. Why are you a great teacher? I want a private lesson, but It gonna be later as a present for me. Love u sm and wish you more subscribers. You deserve it. Kevin, can u suggest any site with uke musical theory? I sometimes watch your videos, but don't understand you because of it. Tysm for your lesson Have a nice day Huge love from Russia

[@AllForUke]

I think this is a great chance for me to put more music theory info on my site for you and everyone in our community. I’ll put that on my content list for upcoming videos /pdfs. What in particular are you looking to learn more about in music theory?

[@ekaterinaS2409]

@@AllForUke I tried to find something about tabs symbols. Kevin, you do try your best to explain everything clear. I can find on my own. You can't do everything for us. I don't deserve you. Others I don't remember.

[@carminareyes4069]

I’m struggling with this. When I’m strumming down with my thumb I can barely hear it. 😢

[@AllForUke]

Try keeping your thumb parallel to the strings, using the side of it when you are going down. Go very slow and try to make each hit of the pattern the same volume. Keep me updated! - Kevin

[@lynnokane5199]

How do you the up strum with your thumb without being your nail?

[@AllForUke]

Try the outside of your thumb and make sure your nail is very short.

[@johnmacpherson2902]

Kevin another great lesson from a great teacher your one of the best thank you

[@albertalfaro]

I thought it was hard but actually you helped me a lot, now my index finger kinda hurt haha

[@philomenapeterson1790]

Thank you. I'm practising the triplet now. Slowly

[@AllForUke]

You got this!

[@b-ray3387]

Are you using a low g string?

[@AllForUke]

Yup, a fluorocarbon Low G on a Kala Acacia Tenor

[@cynthiataylor2162]

HOW WOULD YOU USE THIS TRIPLET STRUM IN A SONG

[@dandanians5091]

👍

[@pameladouglas7685]

Last minutes, hi Kev

[@gollymolly9555]

MY mind is Bent, I'm all thumbs. Practice, practice, practice.........

[@bhenry5091]

I am guessing this is a ukulele tripelet, because a true musical tripelet gives equal time value to each note, whereas this is more like 2 1/16 notes and an 1/8 note.
