⚡️When playing triads it's very natural to play them with with a triplet rhythm. One thing that is fun to experiment with is playing triads with different rhythms, this can open more interesting rhythmic possibilities and help us create less predictable lines in our soloing.

I came across a great example of this on a George Barnes recording called 'Guitars Galore'. You can listen to it here:    • Guitars Galore (Remastered 2016)  

In the video I breakdown what he's doing and how we can use it to freshen up our use of triads.

You might find it easier to count as 123,123, 123, 123, 3+4+
