| What Bpm Devil Went Down To Georgia |
The Devil's Got Rhythm (and Apparently, Stamina)
The original recording by The Charlie Daniels Band lays down a blistering 138 BPM. That's some serious pickin' and grinnin', folks. It's fast enough to get your heart racing and your toes tappin', but not so fast that it becomes a blur. It's the sweet spot for a good old-fashioned fiddle throwdown.
But wait! There's more to this demonic deal than meets the ear. The Devil, being the showman he is, likes to take things up a notch live. Bands covering the song, like the Zac Brown Band, have been known to push the tempo to a scorching 167 BPM. That's some pyrotechnics on the fretboard, enough to make even the Devil himself sweat.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
However, fear not, fellow fiddlers! If shredding at breakneck speeds isn't your style, you can always slow it down to a more contemplative 69 BPM. (Nice.)
Fun Fact: The Devil Plays Double Bass, Too!
While the BPM is all about the fiddle, it's important to remember the backbone of the song – the driving double bass line. This keeps the whole thing grounded (pun intended) and provides that irresistible foot-stomping rhythm. So, while the fiddle takes center stage in the BPM battle, don't forget to give the low end some love too.
