Triplets are great

Let’s take a look at how to practice the 5 minor pentatonic boxes, using triplets.

This is a great scale exercise, because we are playing each box with a musical phrase, and we play the notes with triplets. Practice the opposite direction as well – start at the highest frets you can reach, and descend from there.

Being able to play triplets is very important. So many great blues licks we’ve all heard are using triplets, and they sit so well in a shuffle.
