Time Level 2
Beats per minute
How fast a song is
This is a measure of how many beats are played in a minute. It can be referred to as tempo. Getting to know your beats per minute is essential for recording. Go to lesson.
1/8 notes
2 notes per beat
Eighth notes are twice as fast as quarter notes. So 8 notes to a bar if you are playing in 4:4. I practice most scales in eighth notes with down and up picking. Go to lesson.
1, 2, 3, rest
Adding rests to your scales
Adding rests can be tricky but is an amazing skill for writing your own riffs and hooks. Mix it up and play around with different ascending and descending runs. Go to lesson.
