George Benson - double time triplets over minor 2-5-1-6 in G minor

This is a short lesson utilizing what I call double time triplets ala george benson. Not technically double time since they are 3 notes to the beat instead of 4 but useful to get additional rhythmic density over a set of chord changes. Normally, when benson does this he does *NOT* play a typically triplet style line. He plays 16th note lines and phrases but alters them to fit the chord changes. Because of this, it has somewhat of a metric modulation feel to it. I am going to do a longer lesson this this subect later. Make sure you check out the previous demonstration I did on this technique.
