Not realy - triplets or any other grouping of notes per measure does not depend on how many notes you play per string.

[QUOTE=Inisfail]
I can't read notations, but when sometimes the notations is written above exercise-tabs, there is a 3 written under a bunch of notes. Is that triplets?


yes - normally that indicates that the 3 notes above (or below) the bracket where the 3 stands are to be played as triplets. sometimes it is also written as 3:2 (3 notes in the time of 2) .there are also a whole bunch of other groupings like 5:2, 5:4, 7:4 etc..
