Build a steady groove at 80 BPM
80 BPM is slow enough for careful listening but fast enough to maintain musical flow, making it a practical tempo for everyday rhythm work. Elvis Presley's It's Now or Never and An American Trilogy are well-known references around this speed. The relaxed walking tempo works especially well for chord changes, warmups and passages that need space without losing their flow. Use this page to hear and practice a steady pulse of 80 beats per minute.
