Hello, sorry I'm sure the information I'm looking for is scattered around the forum, but I'm lazy
I finally sucked it up and started using a metronome after thinking I didn't need one as I'm not looking to be a shred god, but realized I still need to use it.
Now my question is...
I'm doing alternate picking for 8th note triplets, 16th notes, and 16th note triplets...
Now here's my question...
I also decided to finally learn tapping while I have the metronome out... I'm only doing 16th note triplets as I believe anything longer isn't necessary? Is this true?
Same with legato, and while I'm on the subject... sweeping.
Should the techniques used mainly for speed be practiced with the longer notes?
Also, what's a typical starting point? I started at 50 bpm for alt picking, as it seems to be a good point for me as anything faster, and my 16th note triplets start to sound real messy and out of time.
Thanks for any input.
