See Mentorship Plans180 BPM means 180 beats a minute, one click every 0.33 seconds. In classical terms it's around Presto. Fast rock, punk and metal. At this tempo even 8th notes move quickly, and 16ths are seriously fast picking.
At 180 BPM, 8th notes come 6.0 times a second and 16th notes 12.0 times a second. In half time it feels like 90 BPM, and in double time like 360.
Don't build speed here. Build it below this tempo and let the speed trainer bring you up to it a few BPM at a time.
Handy for setting delay times and checking how long notes should last.
