This past summer when my family and I were preparing some pieces for a performance my daughter made an ultimatum with me..... she was going to refuse to sing Freight Train with me if I didn't play my accompaniment and fancy guitar solos for that piece over and over and over again with a metronome, really slowly (lots slower than we intended to perform it) to get me out of the habit of speeding it up and going too fast.
It was painful to do at first, but it worked.
I need to get out the metronome more often.
