"The Low End Theory" Exercise Routine

one of the greatest records ever

been doing a very similar thing to what you have here since the early 90s with this record

it has kind of been my secret weapon.... thanks for letting the cat out of the bag :)

nice work
 
Makes sense what you did but what I still didn't figure it out how to implement is gettings songs with the target bpm I'm working on. So if I want to practice singles at 160 I need songs that are 80 or 160 so I can play 16th notes. If the song is 140 then I'm not playing at the speed that I should.

Any idea on how to solve this?
 
The obvious answer would be a metronome, but that would defeat the purpose of practicing with songs.

Dig around on your iTunes or online for songs that are closer to the tempo you want. Give or take 5 bpm. You could even make a playlist where each song is a little faster than the last.

When you find tunes that you like to practice with use the tempo tagging featuring on iTunes. That way you can always just do a search for tune with the tempos you want to work on.
