We all hear the great players play them, and we just listen in awe. Well, not anymore. I'm uncovering the secrets of playing triplets one lick at a time.

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.
