After watching Matt’s video I just realized I’m always doing the triplet strum wrong. Instead of down down up, I’m doing down up up. Same concept but thumb up then finger up, instead of catching the down on the thumb.
Is that bad and to be corrected, or is it an acceptable variation?
Me, too, Lisa! Except for me, I’m only like you and Jake at the speed he demonstrates early in the video when he’s first teaching it vs later in the video when his hand blurs with the speed…… 😉
I’ve been exploring those two triplet patterns this last month. I’ve found that I like to use Matt’s method when I play a slower more deliberate triplet, and Jake’s method (id – tu – iu) for fast triplets.
