Metronome

The only good metronome is a dead metronome…!

@MMMURRAY, I use a metronome and found it a lifesaver. It does take time and a lot of patience. I found that it forced me to slow down, and slowing down was worth the effort needed. The effort will pay off in the long run. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks!

@MMMURRAY I started using a metronome about a year or more ago, and it definitely is a great tool. It really helped me with chord transitions and timing. I could see where it could be useful with Tony’s lessons, because he typically tells you the ideal speed and timing (quarter notes, eighth notes, etc.). I agree with @HowardM that it forces you to slow down and pay attention to transitions and the count. You then work on building up speed once you’ve mastered a slower speed.

P.S., don’t mind @Fletch – He’s anti a lot of discipline in general, but he’s an extremely talented lyricist and writer of original songs. He must have had a bad experience with a metronome somewhere in his past, and he’s never been able to break past it. 🤣🙃😛

Thank you.

I use mine infrequently. When I’m trying to remember notes, strings, hammer-ons, etc. the clicking gets on my nerves. So I use it and then I don’t.

[MMMURRAY]

Much appreciated.

Duplicate, sorry. Someday I’ll figure this messaging out.
