I think Jake Shimabukuro teaches a third technique: one downstroke, with finger and thumb close together; & then two upstrokes, thumb followed by forefinger. But whichever technique you use, I find it useful when explaining the triple strum to think of it as involving _4_ strokes, not 3. The fourth stroke is the one that establishes the beat that your triple strum is breaking into three: da-da-da _dah_ ! Da-da-da _dah_ ! Da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da _dah_ !! 🙂

Peter Moss does it that way, too. Yes, you're right, it does need to be put in context. There's often an 'and' just before too, so 1 2 and 1 2 3 4.
