    Really excellent explanation-it would be good if you could extend upon this with some examples of you playing them

    Hi Bob, I'll bear this in mind in future. I was trying to keep this video concise as I tend to go on at length as you'll have seen in my previous videos!! Cheers

    BIg thumbs up Charles, that was a very surprising and helpful video and now I got a lot of homework, (counting)examples and names to go get swinging. Thanks a lot for this very clear video! By the way, I want to learn how to play the bass a bit better too, after playing a little bit on a 4 string bass a while ago, so today I received my very new, beautiful and great bass guitar, a SIRE M5 Marcus Miller 5 string swamps ash transparent blue, so now I’ve got “more strings, more problems” too, like you said you have;) Cheers

    I'm trying to NOT play sixteenth note triplets, similar to swing sixteenth. What I want is to play sixteenth sextuplets, not the fake or double triplet. I feel the pulse and use paradiddle-diddle ...then play with metronome and those blasted triplets come back to haunt me. Is there any way to "mind-bleach" these triplets? Note Maybe I'm the odd one out but I totally hear sextuplets differently eg 1234diddle with accent on 1st and 5th note rather than 1st and 4th note (yuck).

    I know what you mean, you can get a feel stuck in your head and struggle to shift it! Id recommend practicing it in as many different groupings as possible and avoiding the 4+2 feel. Try 3+3, 2+2+2, 1+5, 5+1, 2+4 and anything else you can think of. Really focusing on learning to control your accents. Good luck with it!

    @Charles Harrison Music Tuition awesome stuff. 👌 I did some sneaky things with metronome. What seemed to destroy the triplets was hitting the beat on different notes rather than always starting on the beat. Worked really well.
