"Alright now we are going to talk about triplets which is basically just a type of rhythm that you use instead of using one beat per note or 16th's being two beats, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, like that you are going to use three notes in the place of one beat so quarter note triplets would be three quarter notes in the place of two beats so rather than having it I will use the metronome here rather than having two beats over two beats of the metronome, ta, ta, I am using three beats over two beats of the metronome, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, and that is a triplet. So just to play a quarter note triplet, it goes, using three notes for two beats and you can also do these in 16th notes and 16th note triplets are 16th notes across one beat so it sounds like this. I am just playing three 16th notes across one whole beat and that is what it sounds like and this is written into songs all the time you will see this constantly probably 90 % of the songs out there have triplets in them somewhere so watch for them."

on 9/15/2009 Thanks, Prof. Russell. I was about to send Prof. Chambers an email about this, but I'm glad you were warned.
To Brian: Dude, you literally are the laughing stock of the professional musical community! Even if you don't care about embarrassing yourself, take UNC's name off your profile. Sure, we will still petition eHow to pull you completely, but at least you won't be bringing down an innocent party with you.

on 9/15/2009 I am on the jazz faculty at UNC Wilmington and have been for nearly 15 years. I can tell you without a doubt that Brian DOES NOT have a "jazz studies degree" from UNC Wilmington. His degree is in *business*, not music! We work hard to provide a solid program, and this is in no way representative of what we do. -Bob Russell
