See Mentorship Plans50 BPM means 50 beats a minute, one click every 1.20 seconds. In classical terms it's around Largo. 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 50 BPM, 8th notes come 1.7 times a second and 16th notes 3.3 times a second. In half time it feels like 25 BPM, and in double time like 100.
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.
