@Wormpicker, I mean that if I play a tune that has only 8 notes in it -a very short tune, and the eight notes are eights, then my metronome will click eight times at 150 bpm. And the eight notes will make up a 1 measure tune.

Ah, ok. I think I get it now (sorry, I’m so dense at this stuff). You are picking one stroke on every metronome click. Since I’m picking 4 strokes (down-up-down-up) on every click, your 150 clicks-per-minute picking would be the same as my picking speed at ~38 clicks per minute, which is a reasonably slow speed. Thanks for the clarification.

-no you're not dense
Everyone here is learning, and because it’s a Global website in a sense, then lots of people do lots of things differently. It’s cool. I really like MandolinCafe.
Good luck!

I really like Barry Harris' method of studying scales. You really get to know where everything is. You can see this method here:
