Hi all,

Time for a new chops challenge!

This one is a descending triplet line in the key of Em.

> Set your metronome for 90-100 bpm to start this riff, and work your way up to 120 bpm or beyond.

> You can palm mute the notes for that shreddy metal kind of sound.

> Play the line descending and then back up again. Then play it on strings 4-3, 5-4, and 6-5. It's a great warm up exercise for both hands!

If they're triplets shouldn't they be grouped in threes?

I might give it a go later on today. Thanks for posting it. :)

Hey, what does "Acient" mean? :P

Yes, but I wanted to economize.

Cool. I wasn't trying to be smart. I was wondering about it. I figured that triplets would have different accents to playing sextuplets.
