I personnaly don't use a metronome, i now started to use drumb machin, i use LoopZ and it's pretty cool ! Might be more confusing than the metronome, because all of those drumb sounds, but eventually i get use to it ! I use this instead, because it feel more engaging, more musical and fun ! And as you know, we talked about that a few days back ! To feel relaxed with a metronome or a drumb machine, is probably one of the hardest things to do for me, because you're trapped by a rhythm, and most of the time my whole body is more tense, even when slowed down ^^ XD ! That's why i always try to make these practice stuff F.U.N ! because from my personal experience and philosophy; without fun, there is no progress ! :) But yeah, just the fact that i had the courage to change my mind a little bit and to start to use a drumb machine (metronome or drumb machine use to be my nightmare); just that is really great ! I a already start to feel small improuvement ! :) I really need to try using backing tracks for soloing; now that i've decoded a bit the fretboard ^^ !
@@guitargympro I do that too ! For the music that i transcribe by ear ! Mostly electronic music melody or video games music ! I love playing it with the original, sometimes i'll slowed it down, because it's just to fast for my fingers and physical capabilities in général! :)
Really any one will work. I use an app called ‘ProMetronome’ - I’m not affiliated with them, I just like it. But any free app or inexpensive metronome will do the trick.
Thank you. Great insights..
Glad it was helpful for you!
Great stuff. Thanks
Of course! Glad it was helpful!

Yup! I love using drum machines or even loops. And my favorite (once I can play a song up to tempo) is to play with the record 😊
