Donmac's Learning & Practice log

Just been practicing Grade one module 2 , strumming on the beat and chord changes for one. I started the chord changes for one at 70 BPM using a metronome and managed to get up to 100 BPM changing chords on the third beat. I did try doing it on the 4th beat but that was a beat too far. I have also tried the Peter Gunn theme, that’s really cool I really enjoy playing it.

Ohh yes, the Peter Gunn theme is fun, I remember! :sparkles:

Also, welcome to the community, if you’ve just found us :hibiscus: And you’re already getting friendly with the metronome right away :+1:t5: which probably helps with not disliking it as I do. I remember it as this unfriendly, loud, mechanical thing when I was learning piano as a child, and some of that still lingers. It does help that it’s now on my tablet, and it sounds different as well, but I still forget it exists for long periods of time, and have to program little reminders into my calendar to use it now and then.

What kind of music are you into and hope to play?

I use the metronome to practice my strumming on the one beat, I started at 70 BPM and now up to 100 BPM.

I forgot to say,I like all kinds of music from classic to pop. The only music I’m not into is heavy metal.
