    Triplets break up the flow of straight eighth notes. To regain the rhythmic flow, an extra chromatic note is added when using triplets within a scale to land on chord tones. Triplets add variety, and the rules are relaxed when expanding triplets to arpeggios. When using triplet arpeggios, the note after should be checked - if it lands on a chord tone, it is acceptable, but if it lands on a non-chord tone, an extra half step should be added.

    So, whats the idea behind the use of triplets. Triplets break the flow of the eighth notes, so you have to add an extra chromatic tone to regain the flow of chord tones on strong beats, if you stay within the scale without skips. Triplets add a nice touch, you get off course, and you get back by inserting that extra note, terrific. You can expand on this using arpeggios and so on. For these, the rules all go. If you use a three note arpeggio, you should check your next note after the triplet. If you land on a chord tone (on this first beat, a strong beat), nothings wrong, if you land on a non chord tone, you should add an extra half tone...
