Improve Your Improv! How To Get MORE Out Of Triplets | Guitar Lesson

[@MediaLiveHD]

And that's the problem with KZbin and lessons. You know what you need to learn but you can't name it but finally I found out and this lesson will spice my improv up as shit :D

[@kylebykiv7771]

One of the best lesson videos I've seen, and I've been playing 18yrs. Love your stuff man

[@RJRonquillo]

Thanks!

[@Zappasays]

I finally found it. Ive been looking for a lesson like this one for months. This is a great lesson, thanks Bro!!!!!!!

[@61Vibes]

I learned about triplets, and I learned about the things we need to do to keep rockin', even when the frets taper off and the tempo is lost in the groove. Thanks for enlightening me about triplets and how to control them, without loosing my groove in the tempo. No one will ever match to this tutorial ditti. Home is where your A-chord is barred. Peace & Namaste.

[@druwk]

Great breakdown. Appreciate you taking the time to show the feel of these figures over the measure. Very useful exercises. Can totally see how these help create interest. Fast is cool, but it don’t mean a thing if ain’t got that swing!

[@jeffcomeau4680]

I especially like how you put each example into context. You actually play the parts over a track with the metronome in the background. Keep up the great content!!! This lesson is awesome for every level of player. Thanks RJ

[@rogeralleyne9257]

Great lessons on your platform! Your chops keep me working on my own; that's for sure!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@companionofowls5438]

Greatness. This is definitely added to my practice agenda

[@nessmalone]

R.J. Ronquillo RULES!!! Thank you for your lessons!!!

[@thesoundpurist]

Me again. What I find helps is to feel half note triplets for playing the 4 notes into triplets.Not much people grasp the fee. The 2/3 after second pulse and the 3/3 before the fourth pulse. Then the loop close you can feel it. Especially at faster speed. Funny part is at this moment you can understand where the triplets are coming from, it’s a 4 against 3 reversed cause I play at doing polyrhythms by forgetting about the theory and think about different rythme separately. I’ve heard one member of meshuggah saying that they don’t bother analyzing. I guess they execute by focusing on different reference points... if it make sense...

[@E29music]

Great Lesson! Always great to go back and try new triplet ideas! Thanks RJ

[@brianmckenzie1318]

At the point I'm at in my guitar journey this was great! Thank you!!!!

[@fionahensley4715]

You have pulled me out of the creative rut, feeling the burn to learn again :)

[@RJRonquillo]

Great to hear!

[@surfrduede]

Thanks RJ for the great lesson on trips! Easy enough to process quickly but with substantial musical concepts. Tabs right in the video was awesome!

[@dalezjc]

What a great video! Never thought triplets could be so cool.

[@murahachibu]

Thanks so much for your lessons! I’d love to see a lesson triads and arpeggios. I’ve heard triads are a great way to learn the neck.

[@oletrenner]

Great lesson! Amazing how it starts so simple but still leaves a lot of room for practice. Thanks :)

[@Marcnshae2011]

Super dope lesson 🔥🔥🔥🎸

[@frantisca]

Very clever, makes a lot of sense :) Well done RJ !

[@thomasd9237]

👍👍 RJ rocks

[@IvorThomas]

Good lesson RJ. Forcing myself to play all of my stuff in triplets regardless of starting on up or downstrokes was the single biggest thing to shock myself out of my horrible picking and phrasing. I still suck, but in less obvious ways now. ;-)

[@Allistar]

Thank you! From Huntsville

[@Andrelix67]

I love that Airline guitar!

[@robsirait1971]

maybe, I've watched hundreds of good guitar learning videos on KZbin. thank you youtube i see this video. I will stop here for a long time. Thank you sir. Awasome guitar playing. respect.🙏

[@ront8270]

RJ great lesson

[@jamesjones-rp6cl]

I thought you were gonna explain how you play like in the introduction to the video?? I love your playing !!!You do this thing where it sounds like your talking off , lol wish you would teach that !!!

[@letterli]

so what more can I say?? GREAT as always - RJ the man on KZbin!! TX!!!

[@SketchingRocks]

Just what the Dr. ordered thks

[@jimwalker3808]

I thought I was going to have fun with Twins once. Then I woke up. Triplets wow

[@MediaLiveHD]

@Ahmad Kaysen nobody cares you bot

[@sydneyjo]

Great Video, thank you,

[@wouterwieringa]

Ohw yes the sound man like that gitair 👌🔥👌

[@juddaustin399]

Sold my Tuxedo last year. Not missing it as much as I've been missing the sidejack bari I let go. (Picked that one up after watching you do Wrecking Ball on the Map!) Eastwood makes some cool guitars.

[@bluejeans5456]

Just played a Sidejack Baritone at a guitar store last weekend and can't stop thinking about it.

[@hearpalhere]

The jazzy version of Rush was awesome! I've never been good at counting while playing and so this video has just blown my mind. Counting five while the metronome is counting four is kind of beyond me :-) I guess more practice is required. Thanks for another great lesson R.J.!

[@johnnydeeme]

A true master of his domain.... use a metronome people!

[@billyklee1881]

I'm gonna go practice!

[@wouterwieringa]

Love your vids i realy want to go amd pick nu gitaar but sadly IT is not ready yet . I AM a a beginner but love to het the groove on looki g your vids man 👌♥️🔥

[@hrosemd]

Tried out the Pulse on your recommendation. Pleasantly surprised. I like to use the big strap so it taps me on the upper back. Thanks for the tip.

[@maksymilian4057]

Super !

[@computedwall26]

Great lesson! Pretty above my head at this point in my rhythm game, but you made it engaging and inspiring. I would have appreciated a looper pedal or backing track that you jammed to in the times you were playing those shuffle bits, just to get a better idea of what the triplets feel like within that groove.

[@jessacuna]

Great ideas ... any way to get a pdf of the exercises. Thanks!

[@pichipachu]

killin' rhythm guitar sound/playing

[@Magnumbborini]

Linda guitarra!!! Muito bom aprender guitarra com você. Abraço 😊

[@Magnumbborini]

Beautiful guitar!!! It's very good to learn guitar with you. Hug 😊

[@salvadorcobos5060]

helpful and easy!! as usual, thanks RJ!!

[@zoscarrhoads7741]

This reminds me of the second riff of Black Dog

[@tremblinbones804]

Cool vid

[@ottovonfledermaus4594]

Another great lesson RJ :) Thanks !!

[@RobisonSoares]

man, thanks for sharing this video! i needed that so much

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Triplet perfection. It’s not an easy concept to teach. Especially four note patterns put into triplet form.

[@tmitz73]

Coo Vid Ron, Thanks!! Trips' are where its at!!!

[@scot-combs]

excellent lesson!

[@RafaelRechia]

Amazing lesson! Tnks

[@fotoajojo]

Hey RJ. I got a Soundbrenner which REALLY helps with this stuff. I know it's a little on the dork side, but can you do a gear review on that thing with all the ways you use it? For instance, I have found it really helpful in training my vibrato to be in rhythm in various time sigs.

[@thejoshbtv]

Epic with the cut scenes.

[@markkitchens9833]

Another great one and perfect timing! Pun intended. This helps me with a song I’m learning (lots of delay and a time change in the intro). Please, please, please do as many rhythm lessons as your heart desires. Most beneficial. Thank you sir! 🤓

[@tgmurph8511]

excellent lesson and can't believe I can almost do it. Trying to support your work so ordered the Soundbrenner. wife thinks I got a new watch...

[@RJRonquillo]

Awesome! They have a new watch device coming out - it's a watch, metronome, and a tuner.

[@ollitrop46]

Great lesson, keep it up

[@yargnad]

I've always loved that copper Airline. How long have you had it now? Oh yeah.. FIRST!

[@RJRonquillo]

For about 9 years now

[@yargnad]

@@RJRonquillo I think its one of the best looking guitars you own. Also, I have a tendency to watch your clips all the way through even if I feel like I already know certain things and it pays off because I almost always learn _something_, even if its the smallest thing. Well worth it every time.

[@jcrossley3]

Along the same lines: practice Neal Schon's intro to "Don't Stop Believing" by moving back and forth between 16th notes and 16th note triplets. (using the soundbrenner app, of course)

[@RJRonquillo]

Great idea!

[@markrodgers2976]

Yes, anticipatory IS a word ! It's what the Romans used to call the bathroom. "Excuse me, may I use your anticipatory?" (sounds better in Latin). :D

[@joeyride58]

@ 13:25 / 50 (ish).. Heard some Frampton perhaps ? ♡♡♡ this Chit !!

[@ront8270]

I just bought a Spanish copper G & L ... I post a pic but the site won’t let me

[@ClassicK1rk]

I thought I was imagining a notification earlier. But glad it’s up now. 🤘😎🤘

[@RJRonquillo]

Yeah, I had to re-edit the video and re-upload. It's all good now.

[@ClassicK1rk]

R.J. Ronquillo Now you have me wondering what was edited out. Hahaha.

[@ClassicK1rk]

R.J. Ronquillo oh, and sweet Geetar BTW.

[@satchrules101]

i didnt know that u could count triplets 1 2 3 4. good to know.

[@marksc1929]

...great info ...thx"

[@SLASHMPI]

Buenísimo

[@altbouch]

Great lesson RJ. Is this part of your regular practice routine?

[@SooBahkJoel]

Faster = Cooler.... duly noted. :-)

[@mattacjones]

great! ... but what about where you play triplets using sixteenths (like free alright now?)

[@RJRonquillo]

Do you mean 16th note triplets? These examples can be applied to that as well - it would be really fast!

[@mattacjones]

@@RJRonquillo I do mean those. I kind of get how they work, but when you hear someone it sounds like they emphasise the first of the 4. But if you listen slowed down, it's 5 even triplets plus one. And when I do it, it always sounds like triplets!

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

Hey RJ, thanks for another lesson. Been wanting to ask you a question for a while - have you ever tried out the Kemper profiling amp and if so, what did you think? It seems particularly popular amongst the heavier end of rock guitarists, but not so much with more versatile guys like yourself. Thanks

[@RJRonquillo]

I haven't really had much experience with Kempers, Axe Fx, or Helix - i'd like to though

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

You ought to request one to demo for the channel. I’m sure they’d like the exposure and you could educate the masses. Win win

[@marcjosephsales923]

What p90 is that??

[@thejonnyfantasm]

TRUSTY TUXEDO! TRUSTY TUXEDO! its always better with the Airline Tuxedo! you said flat wounds! what gauges of flat wounds are you playing on it? i have Daddario EXL110w on my Tuxedo. 10 gauge with a wound 3rd. i really like them

[@RJRonquillo]

I think they are 11s

[@jimmyrigs]

Great video! Is it weird that 5’s are more natural than 4’s to me? 🧐😂😂

[@TheKlamminator]

Thanks for the video. For some reason I keep brain farting on this

[@JT-iz3et]

👍👍👍

[@permjoback2580]

🇸🇪😊👍😉 Great!

[@KentSchneeveis]

dude... is that a Mahatma Gandhi tattoo you have? He's my hero. Thank you for that!

[@3star2nr]

Tension grabs the listeners attention....write that down

[@skatetodeath666]

I find the groups of 4 way more easy than the groups of 2 for some reason.

[@githondriel]

The Bad Plus

[@RJRonquillo]

They rule.

[@chadbouterse8617]

As a self taught musician, I get so confused when people talk about triplets, but its group of fours... why is everything triplets, no matter how many notes repeat?

[@aaronparker1614]

Chad Bouterse I think it’s because that’s the way it works... Haa idk either

[@skatetodeath666]

Yeah this has me very confused

[@nyelhern]

Everything sounds cooler, when it's faster.. lmao!

[@ericportillo8277]

Cool, kind of sounds like balancing walking on a rope

[@joelsantiago2699]

Kabayan po?

[@hippiekarl7]

*Flat-wounds* ?! You're a sick human being, brother!

[@bobmclachlan8788]

I could spend a week on this Am ster dam Am ster dam or blue ber ey blue ber ry blue ber ry Pie

[@josearalat]

Love you bro, but this was just wrong.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I had to abandon this lesson, it required too much thinking! (Shredding is so much easier, it's just your fingers..)

[@lothar34]

I must have a mental block because I just can't hear, see, or comprehend 4 note groups as a triplet

[@RJRonquillo]

if you write out a measure of triplets, that's 12 triplets in total, circle the first 4, the next 4, and the last 4.
