If I should Lose you, with my Gibson L4CES, double time triplets and theory-annotated

This is a run through of the jazz standard, If I should lose you. I recorded this for several purposes. Folks have asked me what my L4CES sounds like so I wanted to do a quick run through. The guitar needed a LOT of work when I first go tit but Bill Jancar took care of most of the problems. It needs a new nut because the original is super low and it's buzzing a lot but he'll take care of that soon.

But also, I am working on a new lesson for double time triplets (ala George Benson) so I wanted some examples to use for the lesson, ergo I am playing way more of that than I would normally play in the course of a standard take.

I wanted to annotate what I was doing in terms of harmonically and rhythmically so I have this video notated. Hopefully that is of some use to folks!

The Groove is Great. The Sound is Great. The articulation is Great.

I just don't understand the term "Double Time Triplets".
For me I hear simple eight-notes triplets, so 12 notes in one bar.

I think that "Double time triplets" are 3 notes over 1 eight....so 24 notes in one bar........very difficult to play at medium tempo....and almost impossible at fast tempo.

Happy Christmas!

it's not literally double-time. Double time is being used here as a symbol for doubling up the tempo but with triplets instead of 16th notes. Yes, i know it's mathematically incorrect...Happy Holidays to you too!
