First song to a backing track. There's a few riffs I need to nail down and get the timing on but the main riffs are there I think. Hoping to have it perfect with some more practice. Posting as starting point.
Thanks Paul, I've now got 160BPM smooth but struggling to keep up with my foot past this, will post 200BPM when I've got it. It's getting there though.
Nice one Seb! For the reader's benefit that's up from 100bpm on Wednesday evening.
My prescription for the fastest run to 200bpm would be to limit all movement in the body to the foot or maybe even just the toes! That should allow you to keep everything more robotic which will etch the pattern clearer and deeper.
Will look forward to the next update!
Thanks Swanner, much appreciated - I did have it on those settings but couldn't hear the click very well. Think I need to start below 30bpm so will try that.
I noticed I've not put any full songs up to speed, here's Holy Mountain, the first song I posted at full speed (100bpm). No backing track so I'm playing the track through my headphones and started it at the same time as the metronome, might be a millisecond off but I'm sure you'll pick up on that ;)
Yo Seb!
One way is to use the default setting on the excellent free web metronome Drummer's Pulse ...
This gives 4 clicks and the first one has a higher pitch than the other 3. Using one click for each part of the beat means we're using four beats to represent one. In this case, although the metronome reads 60bpm we'd only actually be running the pattern at 15bpm (60/4 = 15).
To set up Drummer's Pulse to count the 16th notes for us we can pull up the sliders at the bottom for 8th and 16th notes ...
I've also clicked on the "Sounds" option until the setting changes to "Voice". Now the metronome will count for us; "One click AND click ... TWO click AND click etc.". The clicks are the "uh" and the "a" of our 16th note count.
If it's tough to get going at the lowest setting (30bpm) then you can use the first method above to access slower speeds. Once you've reached 120bpm with the first method, that's the same as playing at 30bpm using the second method.
How much sense does all that make?
Hi Paul
Hope you're enjoying your time away.

Need to work on riffs at 3:10 and 0:41.
Came across this today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK7T7FTaWr8 A bit of foot tapping inspiration in a style you may appreciate!

120BPM as promised, will continue to push to 200BPM. A couple of late ands in there but didn't want to upload a new vid.

Hi Paul, I'm struggling to get this with the metronome, any idea how I can set up the metronome and get it looping?
Thanks, Seb
Improv I did earlier which I was really happy with until I realised I fcked up the camera angle and couldn't replicate 😂
