    Speaking of 70s session musicians, I tell you who is an absolute mf jazz guitarist, Hugh Burns who played the solo on ‘Baker Street’.

    he dropped in at a friend’s music shop in Kilburn played unbelievable beast solo jazz guitar, randomly bought a telecaster on a whim and then left us about out business. He’s a local legend but that was my first contact with him haha...

    Also isn’t sometime Herbie colleague (on at least War of the Worlds iirc) Chris Spedding meant to be a pretty badass jazz player?

    Look, you Americans might have the Wrecking Crew but we got Wombles.

    Today, 300bpm. Name that choon.

    Some hiccups. BTW when I do this I do quite a few takes, trying to remove notes. I think it's a really good process.

    Love to see some others giving it a go! Thanks to those who posted so far.



    When I do this I kind of think I end sounding more traditional. As Evan Christopher points out Louis's Dinah was cut at 290bpm.... Sounds slower than say, Giant Steps.

    It sounds to me like the OP is describing Misirlou by Dick Dale

    Okay here's my attempt at this. Frankly I always shy away from fast tempos as I get really tense and in my head generally, therefore its something I keep putting off in the shed and on gigs. Hopefully I'll take sometime during our current predicament to devote some time to this daily.

    anyways- heres my attempt- too many notes, bad time, dropped a beat I think, and just flat out uncomfortable with it lol. Sorry for the mumbling thing, Its a habit I've been trying to break. Hopefully the tune is obvious?
    (im not playing a super fast tempo here, though it's fast for me)

    Thanks for posting!

    So the purpose of this thread is to try and get away from the chops/tempo association and try to drill down into what makes the tempo feel like the tempo, and yes getting more relaxed.
