ok I FINALLY can do six string sweeps up and down different arpeggios using eighth notes at 250 bpm smooth and clean.

(just to ensure I am correct about this eighth note thing....I have my metronome set at 250 bpm and I am playing two notes for every click...those are eighth notes right?)

O.K. My question is this......It seems to me that not a whole lot of songs are written at 250 bpm (unless it is electronika) so I think that I am going about my timing the wrong way....should I be using triplets or 16th notes or something at a slower and more common tempo?
ie: how should I be timing my sweeps?
