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

What this tool helps with
- Tap in the tempo from a song, riff, or exercise before you start playing.
- Use subdivisions when alternate picking, syncopation, or strumming feels loose.
- Shape the beat map with accents, normal clicks, soft clicks, or muted beats.
- Use training mode when you want the BPM to move gradually without stopping practice.
How to Practice Guitar With a Metronome
Start slower than your ego wants. The click should make the part feel steadier, not more stressful.
Use subdivisions
Turn on subdivisions when the groove feels vague. They make strumming, syncopation, and alternate picking easier to place.
Add accents
Use accents so the click feels like music. A strong beat one can make the whole bar easier to feel.
Tap the song tempo
When you are learning a real song, tap the tempo first. Then nudge the BPM until the riff sits right.
Increase speed gradually
Raise the BPM only when the part still feels steady. If the groove starts wobbling, stay at the slower tempo longer.

FAQ
Is this metronome good for guitar practice?
Yes. It is built around guitar timing work: click feel, subdivisions, accents, tap tempo, and tempo training.
Can I practise speed-building exercises?
Yes. Use training mode to raise or move the BPM after a set number of bars.
Can I make the click feel less robotic?
Yes. Use accents and subdivisions so the click supports the groove instead of feeling like a flat beep.
