Metronome practice and how to find bpms

[Dan Shipway]

Damn is good to be back, since leaving the school for a short while to focus on college I have came up with a cool run but the downside is thst at full speed it id pretty fast and kind of sloppy, I have tried playing to a metronome but I cant find the right BPM. Does anyone know any methods?

Find the BPM where you make zero mistakes and keep increasing it from there. Once you start to make mistakes, stay at that BPM until you don’t. Just repeat that until you reach the target BPM.

Thank you Noah!

Noah is spot on! I can’t wait to see your riff!

Glad to help. Let’s see the progress when it’s ready!

Noah is absolutely right here. I would also recommend to find a metronome with a tap tempo because that can definetely help you to find the tempo you are looking for.

Oh hey Dan, you were nominated by Evan in the forum topic “I’ve Got A Really Exciting Idea”. Did you see it by any chance?

Hey Dan! Once you find your starting bpm, don’t move up until you have played it perfectly 5 times in a row. That will really get your muscle memory going for your run.
