Hi everyone,
I had to time the tunes to do the backing tracks. The metronome settings are as follows (BPM):
Texas Rock ---------------- 118
Blues Rock Tune ----------- 120
True BLue ----------------- 68
Swingin' ... ---------------- slow 69; full 132
Double Stop ... ----------- slow 69; full 96
Delta Mood ----------------- 66
Binding ... ------------------ 60
Bends, Slides .... --------- 66
Getting Funky -------------- slow 54; full 88
Lazy ... ---------------------- 60
Ninth Chord ... -------------- 69
Minor Blues ---------------- 54
More Minor ----------------- 60
Major Blues ----------------- 66
Hard Edge ... -------------- slow 46; full 72
Preaching Gospel ... ------ 63
Blue Sixths ----------------- 60
Hard Rocker ---------------- slow (between 116 & 120); full 152
Rockin' & Rollin' ------------ slow 88; full 152
Delta Child ------------------ 66
All Forms ... ---------------- 63
Those settings should be very close to the CD. The new backing tracks have slow versions for every tune - something that I always wanted.
I hope that helps. Playing with a metronome is very helpful, though you don't want to become dependent on it. Howard Roberts said that you need to develop your "internal metronome." Turn it off occasionally.
