    This week I started making myself use a Metronome along with foot taping. Small win today! Was able to hit: Beats per bar x2, BPM 55, clicks per beat 2 today while playing through the whole scale!

    That’s great. I started using a metronome about 5 weeks ago and while it was a struggle to get used to I’m seeing tremendous progress as a result. Stick with it.

      @Moose408 Thanks!

      How do you count with your foot? Seems like the proper or easiest way is tap only on the numbered beats IE; 1 2 3 4 and don’t tap on the up or and like 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

      What are your thoughts on this?

        Yes, the foot goes down on the beat and is going up for the ‘ands’

        I actually spend a portion of every practice session just tapping my foot to the metronome. I will then add counting as well. This helped me a lot when I started because I would often mid song think about my foot tapping instead of what I should be playing.

        Still not 100% there but getting better every day.

        Me too! Also started tapping my foot to the beat of music I’m listening too. You are right about doing so much you don’t have to think about it anymore.
