Guitar 101 Lesson C - Mastering Rhythm & Syncopation Part 3: Triplets and Hemiola

This section of the Guitar 101 series of lessons is divided into five parts to give you the best possible grounding in the basics of guitar playing.

These introductory parts will cover the following components of Mastering Rhythm and Syncopation:

Part 1 - Whole, Half, Quarter and Eighth Notes

Part 2 - 16th Notes, Rests and Dotted Rhythms

Part 3 - Triplets and Hemiola

Part 4 - More Fun With Triplets and Hemiola

Part 5 - Quintuplets and Nightmare Licks

In part 2 I introduced you to 16th notes and demonstrated how to create a variety of funky syncopations by using rests and dotted rhythms, as well as ties. I hope you've been using every transcription and lesson example you come across to practice your rhythm reading and counting skills because doing this will definitely help improve and sharpen your rhythmic sense, no matter what level you're at as a player or what style(s) you're into. Being able to count, read and, most importantly, feel the complex rhythms of today's music is something that requires a bit of practice to become proficient at, so make a point of reading and counting rhythms on a regular basis (15 minutes a day is good!).
