using space to get back on beat...
Strum another triplet on the 3rd beat,
but only pick the initial upstroke.
Phantom strum the other two hits.
two triplets in the same measure
keep alt picking and let them cancel out
→Tuplets/Triplets
Now as far as strumming rhythm goes, triplets or other tuplets that contain an odd division of a beat (such as 3rds, 5ths, or 7ths) are going to throw us off a bit. We play them the same as above by speeding up and playing on each stroke. The problem is we end up reversing our up and down strokes, due to the odd division. If the pattern has two triplets, then we don't need to worry about it because they will cancel out. If not, we need to find some space to try to get back on beat. Or we just have to recognize that we've reversed down and up strokes and keep chugging along.
=== Using Space to get Back on Beat ===
1 n 2 tr lt 3 4 n
d u d u d u (d)(u) d u
Here we strum another triplet on the 3rd beat, but only pick the initial upstroke. Phantom strum the other two hits.
=== Two Triplets in the Same Measure ===
1 n 2 tr lt 3 n 4 tr lt
d u d u d u d u d u
Here we switch so that we're using upstrokes on beats 3 and 4; however, the triplet on beat 4 will get us back to downstrokes on the beat in the next measure. We just keep alternate picking and let the two triplets cancel out. === Triplet with No Space === 1 n 2 tr lt 3 n 4 n 1 n 2 tr lt 3 n 4 n d u d u d u d (u d u d u d u d u )d u Here we only have one triplet in a the measure - just deal but no space to get back on beat. We use 16th note strums on the 3.5 beat with it and switcha phantom upstroke strum to essentially play back to back downstrokes. {{top}}
