See Mentorship Plans40 BPM means 40 beats a minute, one click every 1.50 seconds. In classical terms it's around Grave. Very slow. Few songs sit this low, but it's the best tempo there is for practice: at this speed you can hear whether every note is clean and every change is in time.
At 40 BPM, 8th notes come 1.3 times a second and 16th notes 2.7 times a second. In half time it feels like 20 BPM, and in double time like 80.
Turn the clicks to 8ths or 16ths so there's a click between the beats to lock onto. Slow practice only works if it's accurate practice.
Handy for setting delay times and checking how long notes should last.
