Does anyone (Casey?) know what bpm Murphy is playing at for the "fast with guitar" tracks in Beginner #1? Every time I try to figure it out I come up with something different. I'm doing well and can play all the songs at medium or so speed (nowhere near M). I'd just like to know as a benchmark to see where I am now and what I'm shooting for down the road. It doesn't seem like it should be so difficult to figure out, but my poor pea brain just ain't getting it done. Thanks!

I found it helps to listen to the tune over and over with headphones on and no distractions also to think in terms of playing musical phrases like your having a conversation with someone.
