3 note pattern in 16th time, pos 4

Griff and moderators,

Greetings!

I've looked through course sections and parts of this forum and haven't found any material on the timing and practice of 3 note sequences as 16th's in straight time. That doesn't mean it's missing (my vision and search attention leave a lot to be desired), however, 3 note sequences lend themselves easily to the shuffle/triplet feel, but can be quite challenging to play (especially fast) in 16th straight time since the downbeat is always changing notes every time through the sequence.

I've found this occurs primarily in positions 3 and 4, major and minor pentatonic respectively, on the top 2 strings, same tonal center.

Is there current course material published on this subject? If not, I think it would be an excellent "blog/demonstration" discussion. For me, they are quite difficult to time.

Thanks for the consideration.

If you have access to Pentatonic Scale & Technique Mastery, that's where that will be located. That sort of thing starts at Example 23, but comes up in various places beyond that.
