## FOCUS 
- This lesson explains triplets in blues music, focusing on how beats are subdivided into three parts, and aims to train the ear to recognize this rhythm in songs.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Listen to examples to identify when the triplet rhythm appears and disappears.
- Practice counting triplets as 'one, two, three' per beat to internalize the rhythm.
- Focus on the underlying bass rhythm in slow blues to hear triplets consistently.

##REMEMBER
- Triplets involve three subdivisions per beat, common in blues music.
- This rhythm can be constant or vary, appearing at phrase ends or middles.
- Recognizing triplets helps in understanding and dancing to blues music.
