Triplet Major Scale

On the surface this lesson seems to be all about speed but scratch a little deeper and you will find it offers much more. Aside from timing it also helps with two areas many guitar players overlook, consistency of dynamics (volume) and tone. 

Play this exercise with a metronome taking care care not to play to fast to soon. As you feel more confidant with the left hand fingering and the right hand picking focus your attention on volume and tone. Avoid the temptation to accent the first note of each triplet.

Changes in tone often occur from string to string. Listen as you play. Aim to achieve a balanced, even tone.

 The deeper implications of this exercise can be summed up with one word..."consistency".
