Suggestion: A group of three quavers played in duration of a quarter-note can be called "a triplet", and any one of the notes in that "triplet" could be called..........."a triplette". So with the metronome, we can put the beat click on, say, "the second triplette". I would put the stress of "triplette" on the second syllable. You guessed! I should get out more.......I know! Thanks for a great site, Mike!

You're a star. Got some good phrasing stuff coming soon but it's way too long at the moment. Re: the printing thing, I'm thinking the easiest thing would be to put all the notation on a PDF, so off to do that now. Cheers! M Thanks a lot for the mention on the guitarnoise site. You’re a star.

I'm focussing on learning jazz at the moment, so both the rhythm and scale tips are just perfect for what I need to work on. I posted in the reviews bit of the guitarnoise.com forums to share your wealth (I should be a politician with skills like that...), hope it adds to the traffic your site gets.

Yes, a printer friendly version is a good idea. I'll investigate how to do it, shouldn't be too hard. One thing that usually works is to press print and then 'save as PDF' then just save the pages you need. That's a faff though, so I'll figure out a solution. Thanks for checking it out!

Is there any way of getting them in a nice printer-friendly format though? Would help with working through the ideas you've laid out - copy and paste misses the notation. Keep it up, and many thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips. Great lessons Mike, really appreciate having hem as a resource, esp at the moments as funds are a little tight for regular lessons.
