To clarify, when I use the word triplet, I mean an individual note that takes up one third of two beats. A quarter note triplet followed by an eighth note triplet (one third of a beat) produces the "shuffle rhythm" (common in most blues). If you alternate between a straight quarter note and the shuffle rhythm, you get the standard "swing rhythm" (common in a lot of jazz).
If you're thinking of the rhythm in SRV's "Pride and Joy", then you're thinking of a shuffle rhythm.
