stewblack Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I've had a dep slot come in for this weekend and need to learn a few and brush up on a few. Was reacquainting myself with the final chorus of Footloose and kept tripping over a few bars. So reverting to first principles I thought 'slow it right down, play to a metronome, gradually speed it up'. As youtube was open I decided to use a drum beat on there and found this wonderful vid. Not having any Apple products about the place I can't try the app itself but frankly this is plenty good enough for me. Just >> to a suitable starting tempo and let it run. The imperceptible increase is just great for getting up to and beyond the speed you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Awesome! Like HJ I also know a very good drummer for this but he’s loud and obnoxious so I’ll use YT instead 🤓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Obvious potential problem is that you loose the ability to play without speeding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started playing music (Melodeon) I bought a metronome(mechanical in those days) to practice keeping a steady time (playing for dancing so fairly important). To start with I was, in all seriousness, totally convinced that the metronome was slowing down. I'd stop mid tune to wind it up (I know that that doesn't actually affect the speed), and more than once considered taking tack to the shop for a refund. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
