Hence the name of the song

 

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a pretty quintessential example for this. There's got to be other good ones out there but I can't think of one off the top of my head...

 

Not really popular.

 

Right, it would seem i forgot how to count.

 

Bohemian Rhapsody-from the Opera section to the Rock (triplet/shuffle) guitar riff part.

 

Nah, shuffles don't count, they still fundamentally feel like four. I bet you $1,000 if you were counting the end of Bohemian Rhapsody you'd be counting 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, not some kind of crazy fast triplet. To me, to count for what the op is talking about the 3/4 section has to have a waltz time feel.

 

　

I think so too.

Why does it have to be 'popular'? Most of my music makes use of triplets in various spots even if what I am using does not support it...

Say AXS Tracker only has fixed 64 lines per pattern but I can still 'go in & out' of triplets within that span when on others I can set it to 48 or 96 lines so I can have triplets anywhere...

In AXS I gotta plan it out a bit better...



Anyways these all have triplets yet done in AXS-



This next one is WIP past the intro triplets beginning of every measure-



This one upright bass evident & later on-

This one old done in Aero Studio not very good but triplets before every chord change & also in synth lead-



One more, I had to listen first... This is new WIP doing in Reason 3.0.4... The Harmonica has some triplet action @ 26 seconds in...

My newer stuff on alonetone the old soundcloud account I tried to close 2 years ago but they never deleted all like I asked so I guess it's there for good I can't access it anymore...

Not a big deal I don't put good-good stuff on the internet anyway, too easy to steal so I just upload ideas, jingles, quirky tracker stuff nobody would wanna steal...
