Thanks Paul, a really interesting video. Good to see you've finally managed to employ a suitable new assistant.

I love that you are talking about this, youtube saxophone teachers don't talk enough about building up the feel for timing outside of standard eight and sixteenth notes. Clapping odd rhythms against the metronome is a great warmup. Another exercise is clapping a polyrhythm where you switch your clapping pace each measure. So doing a 4:10 polyrhythm you clap the 10 beat rhythm in the first measure and the 4 beat in the second and keep going back and forth and after a while you develop a feel for where that polyrhythm sits in that 4 beat measure and then you can shift the 4 beat clap to the up beats. I find it helps timing for embellishments.

That sounds like a nice exercise, will give that one a try!

If I focused more on these types of rhythms, I could probably answer my own question. Can you please share some song titles that reflect these triplet tricks. So, Albie is probably too big to pick up like that now 😂

[@OnlineSaxAcademy]

Hi Jim, I’m not sure terms of melodies there isn’t a huge amount, but if you listen to people’s solos, particularly at medium tempos you’ll hear these kinds for rhythmic ideas a lot. Oscar Peterson loves to use triplets in 2s and 4s.
