How to Practice Guitar With a Metronome

Start slower than your ego wants. The click should make the part feel steadier, not more stressful.

Pick a tempo where every note still feels under control. Clean and steady is better than rushed and tense.

Turn on subdivisions when the groove feels vague. They make strumming, syncopation, and alternate picking easier to place.

Use accents so the click feels like music. A strong beat one can make the whole bar easier to feel.

When you are learning a real song, tap the tempo first. Then nudge the BPM until the riff sits right.

Raise the BPM only when the part still feels steady. If the groove starts wobbling, stay at the slower tempo longer.
