Today, I'm a little better, I can play things at 80, 90, or even 100-110, and speed it up to 125-135. I'm not as meticulous as I used to be though.
Hey mate,

That's funny and great to hear! I do my head in often as I don't sample on my releases and so either use session musicians OR (what I thought before today was cheating) play keys in at a slower speed before speeding it up.

Pretty much all my releases have a part in the track that's been played in PAINFULLY slow then sped up... I've had a huge complex about this... and would get coy around my jazz friends who bust of chops at 190 bpm 16th notes like it ain't no thing!
