Quarter-note triplets across beats 2 and 3, with a plain quarter on 1 and 4. Count so beat 4 comes in on time.
Call & response plays the rhythm once, then gives you the same amount of time to play it back.

One note first
Play the rhythm on a single note until it feels easy. Get the timing right before you think about pitches.
-
2
Sing it first
Sing or scat the rhythm along with the click. Once you can sing it in time, it's much easier to play.

3
Chord tones only
Keep the rhythm and only use notes from the chord. Then try the scale, then add some chromatic notes.

4
Over a tune you know
Put on a practice track or a looped video and solo with only this rhythm for a whole chorus.

Call and response
Turn on Call & response. The trainer plays the rhythm, then you play it back with your own notes.
-
6
Move it over
Use Shift the rhythm to start it half a beat or a quarter beat later. The same rhythm in a new place sounds like a new idea.

7
Slow, then faster
Start at a tempo that feels easy and turn on Speed up. Your fastest tempo is saved in your practice log.
