In a bar of triplets in 44 time, there are 12 different positions for notes within the bar. The first beat is 1, the middle note of the first triplet is called the "trip of one" and the third note of the first triplet is called the "let of one". The system then continues through the bar - 2, trip of 2, let of 2, etc. It is worth practicing playing notes or chords on each of these positions until you can do them at will. Here are some more exercises, this time using triplets. Count these ones carefully, as there could be either a note or a rest on any part of each triplet. There are three different ways of strumming triplets – all downstrokes, alternate strumming, and playing each new beat with a downstroke (down up down, down up down, etc.). It is important to practice the following exercises with each of these strumming motions.
