EOS650 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ok... I usually practice about 1 1/2 everyday. I divide that up into two 40 min "sessions" where I work on scales and finger speed, respectively. Then I use the last 10 min to work on slap. I'm using a rather simple metronome and am at 40bpm and am trying to hit it dead-on everytime. With both my scales & finger speed. I want to master 40bpm then move up to 45bpm. I do tend to miss it alot is there anything I can do to be more percise or do I just need to keep at it? I was going to work on 40bpm for another 2 weeks before trying to move up to 45. Is that too long of a time to wait? Does anyone have a better/more effective practice routine or is what I do ok? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pip Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi No your practice seems fine to me, organised I might add . As for speed in general sticking at a lower tempo is a lot better than trying to rush and play something that sounds messy and unclean. As for playing at 40bpm yes thats very good, after a period of playing at that tempo you will become relaxed and moving up will be a doodle. Keep at it! I hope I've answered your questions alright?

EOS650 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 You have Phil, thank you! I tend to want to organize my time because if I don't it seems unproductive. Thanks, though! I'm feeling more confident at 40bpm. I'll try 45 in another 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
