Are you talking about a tuplet?:P
You can get tuplets, quintuplets, septuplets and so on.
I've learn a whole bunch of theory and my ear training is at the level where I can work out shred guitar solos by ear now, but admittedly my sight reading ability is still rudimentary at best, but I can read simple pieces.

Oh, I can read it. I did plenty of music theory. I just can't play it if it's too complicated.
I guess it's a tuplet. That's the symbol with the 3 on top?

Yes, it is a tuplet. The most common tuplet is a triplet.

All right, we do use triplet in French then. But not tuplet.

Ahh, technique takes years to work on I guess, and if you don't have the time now, I guess you probably wont find it again. I'm aiming to be a jazz fusion level of playing in a few years, so you can imagine that is pretty hard stuff.

Yes, I get the idea. And you seem to have the level of necessary commitment for it (although it's hard to really say from my end of the ... err... screen), so good for you.

Honestly, part of what drives me to play so much, is that I'm one of those people that doesn't watch TV, so my way of figuring was, when other kids where watching TV, I'd put that time into use by playing guitar instead.
So it ended up, I could play guitar and the other kids couldn't because all they did was sit around, eat junk food and watch those 'you become a pop star' TV programs.

Should I buy a Strawbs ticket even if I can't quite afford ot and/or can't buy a harmonica if I do?
Mmm... maybe this place has a Strawbs concert review.

Inner Mounting Flame > Birds of Fire. Just BARELY. Though "Open Country Joy" may be my favorite song.

I didn't know you were into being a fusion player Harry, that may be the most challenging of styles I think

Well, I've got a few years ahead of me to really get to know the harmonic craziness that is fusion. I have a very good background in modes of the major scale and already I've been able to play quasi fusion modal stuff, but I've yet to go full on into the scarier end of modes of the melodic minor, which is the real killer. My alternate picking isn't that good lately, I haven't worked on it much and it's gotten slower than it used to be, but my legato style is really happening, so I can execute some rapid fire runs in legato. I've been really getting into Lydian mode progressions, as well as a kind of jazz fusion approach to blues by using a different Dominant chord for the I-IV-V, meaning I have to change modes each time the chord changes, as opposed to playing the same scale over each scale like you would over a regular blues.

That sounds awesome, Harry. If you ever make some fusion recordings, I'd love to hear them.
