Metronome speeds and progress, Let's keep track of our progress! Options

[Kristofer Dahl]

Post your top metronome bpm (beats-per-minute) speeds. When you have made some progress just edit your post - but leave the old speeds so we can see your progress. Don't forget to chose font "Courrier new" (upper left corner) when posting your tabs.

Here are some of my current exercises and speeds. I will most likely not get to edit my speeds - since I no longer focus on inreasing speed, but rather correct mistakes (cleanliness, control, eveness etc) caused by me wanting to push speed a little to quickly....



Tapping (allows for most speed!) 160 bpm sixteenth note triplets
This is the kind of exercises you will find in Tapping lesson 4

(Could fit the "T":s to the right place - check the lesson istead for exact tabs)
