musical help anyone? : (

Post by Supernaut »

I'm currently writing something that sounds quite nice and I'm looking for variety near the beginning by using all my fingers to play more notes in the same time. It's in 3/4 btw for now. I might need to change the time signature later.

example:

-------11-11---7---
---9-----------------
---------------------
---------------------

Rather than simply using 3 quarter notes, I changed the F# to 2 eighth notes just for a little bit of simple variety near the beginning.

But now I'm looking to do this. Imagine:

-------9--6---------
---7-----------------
---------------------
---------------------

Now put the 3 Es there into a triplet. You get 3 notes in one beat right? That's the sort of timing I'm looking for. But I can physically do 2 notes for every note in the triplet. The thing is, how do I tab this out on GP properly? I just can't get it to fit right!

Anyone help? cheers

Make one of the notes in the triplet a rest. I think I understand what you're talking about.

Hmm it still doesn't work. It's rather difficult.
