Tap Tempo Metronome Game :)

While yes this is going to be an interactive ‘game’ kind of post… I assure you it falls under technique as it checks your internal meter ( like Josh’s Ultimate Groove Workout does )

I do this from time to time to check my meter.

Here is how this works, you will need a digital metronome, with a Tap/Tempo button. ( you tap in rhythm, then it will display a bpm for you )

I’m going to list a few songs, and then… you tap what you feel the beat is for that song (listening in your mind how it goes without playing the song). Then google the bpm, and see how close you came.

Having a solid meter is a valuable asset!

Some tunes to start it off (feel free to add other songs when you reply):

Metallica - Enter Sandman
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Guns and Roses - Welcome to The Jungle
Judas Priest - Breakin the Law
The Cranberries - Dreams
Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The Jackson Five - I Want You Back
Chic - Good Times

Lets start with those… How close to the actual BPM did you get on your tap test?
