Ghost Notes & Triplets

In this weeks lesson, we take a look at a nice idea using triplets and ghost notes to help strengthen and control our weaker (in my case - left) hand. We are going to utilise the standard triplet rudiment within some basic 4/4 grooves, with the left hand playing continuous double strokes on the snare. This is a really cool sounding concept that can be a little tricky to start with, but after a bit of practice will really help develop that weaker hand.
