I'm not a great reader so can anyone explain in layman's terms what the difference between say 8th, 16th and 32nd notes is and also what the difference is between say 8th and 16th note triplets ??
The reason I ask I've trying to learn a number of different Gospel Chops and I'm trying to work out how many repetitions of say RLRLKK should be played and over what time period but also would like be able to count them properly to help with my timing.
Any help much appreciated !!!
EDIT:
I thought I'd add to this so people understand a bit more clearly where I'm struggling.
If you were to play 1,2,3,4 over a period of a bar it's quarter notes ie 4 notes over that time period if you then play 1+2+3+4+ it's 8th notes as there's 8 stokes over the same time period but why are 8th note triplets called 8th notes as you have 12 stokes over the same time period and 16th note triplets 24 strokes - - I think it's that that's confusing me and wondering if I'm missing something ?????
