How To Use A Metronome – Guitar Lesson


In this free video guitar lesson I will answer some of the many questions I get on how to use a metronome.

Learning how to use a metronome is essential to anyone that plays a musical instrument. Not only will learning how to use a metronome keep your technique and rhythm more precise, it will also gauge your progress over time and become a great motivational tool.

In this basic video guitar lesson I will teach you the fundamentals of how to use a metronome. It is actually a very simple process that any level of musician can become proficient at very quickly.

In the beginning you may feel it is a bit awkward while trying to play along with a mechanical beat. But very soon it will become second nature to you.

One thing to keep in mind while learning how to use a metronome is to try and not play too fast too soon. Always keep most of your practicing within a comfortable technical level for you while only trying to boost the tempo up and challenge yourself a few times during a practice session.

Learning how to use a metronome correctly will help you play along with other musicians much better as well. You will develop a constant in the pocket feel very quickly as long as you use a metronome during all of your technical studies.

Here is to hoping that you develop exceptional rhythm and technical skills by simply following along with this video and putting the ideas into everyday practice. 🙂

    Good job – your site was just what I was looking for. I have drum beats app on my phone that I use for a metronome. Do you prefer or think it’s advantageous to have separate gear for a metronome .
    Thanks,
    Joe

      Hey Joe, really any metronome will work fine. 🙂 Some people prefer a complete drum beat to make it a bit more interesting, but a simple click will do just fine.
