Criteria for speeding up when practicing with a metronome Like I said in my comments to the other answers, "using a metronome to 'push' your tempo faster" is commonplace in guitar-oriented practice. I'm just surprised that it seems I misunderstood something I took for granted for years. |

Criteria for speeding up when practicing with a metronome Sorry to be nitpicky, but when can I really say 'this is flawless'? Also, I don't really know what you mean by 'normal' (see my comment on @luser's answer). |

Criteria for speeding up when practicing with a metronome I've never really approached 'getting faster' using a 'playing it faster in your head' strategy. The whole 'guitar practice' culture I run into seems to use a 'metronome-first' approach. |

Criteria for speeding up when practicing with a metronome To put it simply, let's say I'm playing 'difficult-ish' guitar-oriented metal-or-something (think Dream Theater, Satriani, etc) |

Does using an EVH D-Tuna limit the range of a Floyd Rose type floating bridge? What are you using to stabilize the Floyd Rose bridge of your Music Man? |

How do professional accompanying musicians (seem to) figure out songs instantly? Your answer makes a lot of sense. However, a piece of music is not as spontaneous an event as a clogged pipe or mouth condition. Somebody created it. I just think your answer was too "ultimate" regarding the previsibility of music in general. Of course, the very question I asked implies that this previsibility exists in some degree, though. |

Are there any machine-readable databases of chord progressions available? In most programming environments, this is as simple as calling up a "URL Decode" function. This "%20" way of encoding characters for transport in URLs is actually a standard: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding (this is more of a Stack Overflow question, really lol) |

I'm looking to build a basic repertoire of Brazilian music. Which songs would you recommend I start with? One may also keep an eye on the rankings of letras.terra.com.br and/or cifraclub.com.br for songs currently popular monthly/weekly-wise. |

I'm looking to build a basic repertoire of Brazilian music. Which songs would you recommend I start with? These are good options too. The previous suggestions were more in the erudite realm. If you ventrue into popular music, then Roberto and Ivete are very significant. It should be kept in mind, though, that they represent only a fraction of the MPB (Música Popular Brasileira - Brazilian Popular Music) genre. Also, they're hardly "currently trending". |
