[How To Change The Tempo In The Song]

Check out John Fogerty's Ramble Tamble. He plays it both solo and with CCR. There he shows you what it means to play WITH your co-band members, and not with your clicker:p It's amazing what you can do if you really connect with other people. It's rare, though, so... In the bluegrass band I play I think we just doubles and half the tempo, as mentioned earlier. That's the easiest way, no question about it. But if you find some rule about how it is done, I'd be thrilled to hear about it! But totally agree with others here that metronome can be overused. I underuse it though, so...

Another way I've used sometimes is to make a break, and that for instance the bassist or drummer count it up again in a short buildup. That makes it look kinda cool to!

Good luck mate:)

Intro played at the same pace, then accelerated by about 10 - 15 beats per minute and coda are again lowering the rate on 10 - 15.

It seems to be little by little I begin to understand what to do

Well guys, what about books?

Maybe there is a book about the arrangement that you read?

Thank you Michael, but I play and compose with a metronome, and I need the exact values of BPM.

At the forum there are people involved in metalcore? I would like to talk to them about it.

hey Koopa

I understand. I guess I'm just not sure how you are having difficulty. The music is divided into bars and beats in bars. The rate of count speeds up or slows down according to the tempo changes you want... that ties to the melodic and rhythmic changes, changes in intensity and sound that all help smooth transitions, but in essence it is all counting.

One thing you regularly see is transitions that use silence or they add a bar with a sustained note to draw a line between tempo changes, but in essence it is the players having discipline and the band all changing to the same new tempo at the same time that takes practice whether they use silence, a sustained note or not.

I dunno if that helps.

Cheers

John

It is unclear at what point to slow the tempo.

Right at the beginning of this additional bar or after?

And how then taxied back?

It is also interesting how many BPM lower / raise.

Certainly there are some rules about that ...

Do you know where I can read about this?

For example verse play fast

and then slowed down and play breakdown.

Hi John.

I meant BPM.

[How To Change The Tempo In The Song]

Often in death metal, metalcore, etc. used a change of tempo.

I would like to know how to do it? Who can share some advice?
