“Trip-O-Let”
-The Power Of 3’s-

Here’s Your Blue-Print/PDF For This Lesson

Important Note: This lesson is a huge file. To help it run smooth on your computer, I suggest the following:

1) Shut down all other applications except your web browser

2) Click play on the video and then IMMEDIATELY click the pause button on the video.

3) Now allow it to load. You’ll see the little bar begin to move across the bottom of the video. Wait until it reaches half-way (at least) before hitting the play button. If you have the patience, wait until it gets almost all the way across. If you have nerves of steel, wait until it makes it all the way across.

4) Now hot play and enjoy!

Lesson Overview…

[firstname]…

This is a dooooozie! I love this lesson and you’ll understand why once you get it down.

By the way… I’ve included a jam track with this lesson as well as a second “Demonstration” video (see below but read all of this). Don’t get hung up on feeling like you have to do everything I do in the Demo Video. It’s there for you to see these things being used. That’s it.

Before you get started, let me ask you something…

Did you ever see somebody tear into a lead/solo and all at once they rip through a series of notes that sound like it may never end?

Now, I’m not talking about repeating a cool lick over and over, or doing something that sounds like junk with no purpose or feeling.

I’m talking about a cool fall from high notes (in tone) to the lower bass notes – something that just sounds like the player has more strings and more frets than you and I have on our guitars.

Well guess what…

Today, you’re going to be armed and dangerous with a simple way to do it and it sounds great. Just get it down smooth and you’ll have one heck of a cool run.

Here’s a couple things to remember about this lesson:

1) Remember to run it through The Triple Factor

2) Practice it slow

3) Stick it to a beat (you can practice along to the jam track I’ve included). Remember, you DO NOT have to practice it fast when you’re playing along to a jam track.

Even though a  jam track (or any song for that matter) may have a fast beat, that doesn’t mean you have to play on every beat. In fact… Now get this…

*** Your playing will be much more interesting when you learn to play on different beats! ***

Try playing one note on a beat and then skip one or two beats and play the next two or three notes on beat. Skip a beat. Skip two. Double up on one single note. Slow it down… speed it up.

[firstname], I’m telling you, pay attention to me on what I just said about playing around with the beat. MIX IT UP!

While all your other guitar picking buddies are playing mundane sounding leads/solos, yours will sing through like wild, and it will be because you’re sharp enough to know to mix up your timing.

4) The last thing I want to encourage you to keep yourself from doing is “SHELVING” this after you learn it. Don’t just get it down and then forget about saying to yourself, “Oh, I got it”.

Heck no [firstname]!!!

Take the time to get it down and then experiment with it. Pull a “Trip-O-Let” out of the middle, then pull one from the bottom, then pull one from the top. Mix the beat. Grab one 12 frets up (think The Simple 7 & 12).

This is an enormously powerful lesson. Use it well.

SIDE NOTE: On picking, practice down picking and up picking. There is no rule on this.

Alright [firstname], I’m cuttin’ you loose.

Wear it out and let me know your thoughts and be sure to post them in the Q & A Library!

Have a great day and thanks for hanging around the studio with the rest of us.

Last But Not Least… The Demonstration Video.
I’ve intentionally kept the playing in this sample very basic and simple based on what we’ve learned to date. Watch and listen for “The Cowboy Blues” and todays lesson, “The Triple Factor”. This is just for getting some ideas. Trust me you can elaborate and expand on this like wild.
