You already got your answer. I said it and someone else spelled it out clear as day. What you put into it is what you get. In my case I spent 5 hours minimum in 2 days solely based on speed practices and it took 2 days to crank out those 16th notes. You chose not to believe that and that's fine. If you just ignore something you won't get good at it. And there's no need to turn down our offers of advice, it could be worse you know. There's that "beginners" thread that turned into a rant about candy and bob's bits or the notorious "yep" thread. Or some of those other threads that turned to poop as the topic.

Ok, Maybe you guys can shed a little light on this for me. When you are talking about how many BBM you can play, Do you mean running through a scale at one note per tick of the metronome? Also what are 1/8s and 1/16s?
Thanx guys.

It can be a scale, or it can be an etude that's been made up. It can even be someone else's song. In my case it was an etude I made and altered through my practicing procedures. 1 note per tick is 1/4 notes. If you play 2 notes per tick that is 1/8 notes. 2 notes per tick take half the time as 1 note per tick so, y'know, 1/8 note right there. Divide 1/8 in half and you have 1/16 which is 4 notes per tick. Divide that in half and you've got 1/32 which is 8 notes per tick. Half that and you've got 1/64 which is a whopping 16 notes per single tick. I've been a bit intimidated by the 1/64 notes personally.
