I am trying to practice with my metronome. It would be helpful if the book listed how many beats per minute for slow, medium and fast. It seems that each is getting faster as I progress in the course. Is this information provided somewhere and I have overlooked it?

@AllThumbs Hello, and welcome to the discussion board! We should begin by noting that two editions of the Learn and Master Guitar course were published. One, the less expensive version distributed through retailers, does not contain the Bonus Resources book. This volume, still available separately from Steve, details the criteria, including bpm, for "You're Ready to Move On" after each lesson. If your copy of the course did not contain this, I strongly encourage you to obtain it.

The Lesson book only describes the tracks on the jam along CDs as either slow, medium, or fast, as you describe. These terms are arbitrary and have no fixed meanings. One of our devoted students measured the tempos to each of these tracks some time ago and collected the results; I have attached a PDF that tabulates them all.

If you would like to acquaint yourself with the terminology of tempo, this Wikipedia article is a good start. The traditional terms are not often encountered in guitar music outside classical and jazz genres.

@DianeB, your link for the pdf, about the Jam Along Tempos, is broken.  I will look and see if I have that rattling around somewhere on my hard drive.  I know at one point I had it but do I yet?

Or look at the topic Play-along CDs - tempos where they are all listed.
