    My metronome drive me crazy and, like you said, I often get a little ahead of it. I now only use it for practising scales. When strumming songs, I find a drum machine so much easier.

      Drums are easier but I think metronome is harder but better maybe?

      I finally started to use a metronome, and man I can't find a nice tone as the normal ones drive my Tinnitus up the wall. Actually it hurts my ears.

    Thank you. This is really helpful to learn chord changes to new or difficult chords. I have been working on C to Bm and I found that if I use the metronome say at 50 BPS it really helps and then I can slowly get faster as I feel comfortable with the chord change.

    Just starting out so I bought a Boss DB90 and my timing isn't terrible, but if I try to play scales for instance I find it that I easily get ahead or behind the beat without noticing. Right hand on its own at reasonable BPM, not that hard. I see myself using it long term as I learn scales and chords, since I'm on my own for the time being. It's pretty intuitive if you're tech minded 🙂

    Honestly the metronome is so frustrating for me. It is honestly why I gave up on guitar on the first place. I mean my skills are pretty good and I can play certain songs on time from memory but when it comes to playing with a metronome or other people it's hard for me to connect the left and right brain. Makes me wonder how many other would be great guitarists get stuck in this purgatory....Giving it another shot at 31, taking lessons from a friend of Satriani, if it can be done I'm going to do it as long as I'm physically able.

    What about when you're finger picking? Do you play the bass notes that you let ring on each blip of the metronome or each not individually?

  • @StuartTufft
    @StuartTufft 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    The metronome is one of those things that I never thought I would need to use. I can strum pretty well to the beat; however, like many other people here, I have found that I end up speeding up when I strum! I really struggle to keep time without tapping my foot. If you have trouble, maybe a bit of good ole' foot tapping!

    Opposite problem here. I NEED to break free of the Metronome sometimes! Being also a drummer, we like metronomes a lot so I tend to use it all the time unless using a backing track or music.

If you look inside a book that let’s say a guitar book for what ever music you like and at the beginning of of the song you’ll see the tempo at which it’s played.

    These days all you have to do it is download a DAW, select a snare sound and then just put the sheet music timing in snare hits on the time line in quarter, 8ths, 16th etc. Counting 1 e and a is difficult to get timing right.

    I hope that someone see's this and can answer this question. I am 54 years old. Started playing off and on since I was 18. I am bad dude I never used a metronome. My question is the metronome has 3 different beeps and one different tone beep. What does that mean? Why is there one different beep and what does that mean to me? My timing is terrible. Does it mean the measure is starting over? Like one, two, three, FOUR. Or ONE, two, three four, ONE, two, three, four? I hope that made sense.

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The conventional way of thinking of this different tone is to count it as ONE. Knowing where the 1st beat is is essential and having a different sound can help with that.
