Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. Many useful tips.
I had an hour lesson Tuesday with a teacher I know to have him evaluate my playing at this stage. He feels that 180BPM is a pretty fast tempo for a beginner, and that I'm playing it well at 140. He assures me speed will come up naturally as I go through Justin's intermediate course. Again, thanks everyone!

I'm where you are in terms of 1/8 note strumming speed. With a thin pick, I can get to 150 bpm playing a I-IV-V7 progression but seem stuck there. It's not a deal killer at all because I primarily Fingerstyle and flatpick so I don't need that kind of 1/8 note speed often at all. But I do want the ability throw in a fast 1/8 note or 1/16 note fill/riff in my music in the future.

It's so difficult to put it into words, and as you say, you just have to feel the music/beat and try not to think about it. But to get there I had to do a lot of practice. It tidied up everything I played and made singing over playing much much easier. |

Bad Moon Rising has such a distinctive rhythm. I'm not having any trouble feeling the rhythm, just playing the rhythm as fast as the video recording. My whole being feels the rhythm at 180BPM, except my right arm, which feels it at 140.
