Rhythm guitars fit that bill.

So no assistant.

Not ethically possible.

Let's go with this method as a starting point. Rhythm guitar is in good shape from where I sit. How do I create a tempo map from it? Can I simply create a tempo map of the entire song from the guitar a marry the drums to it? I realize that might be a bit into crazy territory but... a man can dream can't he?
in the end... I will edit this whole thing by hand if that's what it takes.
