| | Triplet exercise 1
Triplets, triplets, triplets...Seems most Irish style banjoists and would-be Irish-style banjoists are obsessed with them.
There is a reason for this obsession though: Playing triplets is a relatively simple and really effective way to add some extra colour to the banjo playing. Here is an exercise to build basic triplet skills. Some important points when you do this exercise: - Make sure you have a good right hand position.
- Follow the pick directions closely. You should learn both alternatives, but focus on one of them, and don't work on the other before you have mastered the first properly.
- Play slow and easy at first, then gradually let the speed build.
- Relax! If you start getting tense, take a break and come back to the exercise another day.
