I don’t use the metronome in the learning phase but I use it in the practice phase starting what sometimes seems painfully slow and then speeding up. Then I use it sometimes in the playing phase to change it up challenge my mind. I will calibrate and turn it off then calibrate and turn in off again. I use the Matrix MR-600 with the dial. One of the other things I do with the metronome is play a recorded song and work the metronome with the recording to understand what is fast and what is slow. It also is useful to determine what temp favorite artists are play a given song.
It was super tough for me to use it at first but It is the key to playing with others so I fixed my determination and stuck with it until it became as comfy as a security blanket.
