Frequently Asked Questions
A metronome produces a steady beat at a set tempo measured in BPM (beats per minute). Guitarists use a metronome to develop consistent timing, practice difficult passages at slow tempos before speeding up, and build rhythm accuracy for strumming, fingerpicking, and lead playing.
Start at a tempo where you can play the passage cleanly without mistakes — even if that is very slow. A common approach is to set the metronome 20% slower than the target tempo, practice until it feels comfortable, then gradually increase by 5 BPM increments.
Set your desired BPM using the slider or input, then press play. Follow the visual beat indicator and audible click to keep your playing in time. Start slow and increase the tempo gradually as your accuracy improves.
