the trouble with triplets

[Bell Banjos]

Having trouble with 'triplets?' Learn Prince Congo Jig and play it SLOW, over and over and over and you'll never be intimidated by triplets again.     SLOW.

[Ron]

Thank you for the advice. I will give it a  S L O W  Go .

[Tim Twiss]

Don't forget to see the "strike" in the triplet.

[Ron]

Thanks for the reminder Tim. I've been using your teaching videos on timtwiss.com

along with the book and CD , a powerful combination.

[Bell Banjos]

Tim, I got a few good comments about your book/CD from 3 banjo customers already. The set is an overwhelming hit so far, especially the CD. These were folks brand new to minstrel music.

[Tim Twiss]

Oh good. Getting many angles of information is useful. I'm glad it's out there now...this book. I consider it to be core....a solid start. I have not added to the original information....just organized and presented it differently. It is not "fast food" however. You have to want to try.

Where do I find the version of Prince Congo Jig to be practicing, Terry?   I'm not seeing it in Tim's new book.

[Ian Bell]

"Prince Congo" or "Congo Prince"? The latter is in Brigg's and in the Joe Weidlich tab book of that tutor ("Minstrel Banjo") Unless we're talking about "The artist formerly-known as Congo Prince"

[Strumelia]

Yeah come on Terry, tell us where it is!  I looked on my new Prince cd, and it wasn't there either.  !

[Ryan Gray]

Ian, ya, the prince.

[Bell Banjos]

it's called the Congo Bongo Mambo ....   it's in there.

[Strumelia]

In where??
