Thanks Tank,  
having listened to it a lot myself, I can tell the timing is way out in parts.

Timing Timing Timing...sigh. Always my problem is timing. My timing really is terrible.

I have tried to improve and I am sure I have a little, but not enough. I always wanted a Metronome that tells you the beat of the bar, i.e that calls out ",1,2,3,4,,1,2,3,4, etc rather than one that beeps, and perhaps a visual display that tells what bar you are in too?...is it too much to ask - does anyone know of such a device?


Every musician must develop a good sense of timing, so keep at it. It's as important as learning where to put your fingers. You are a right in persevering with a metronome. Until you can focus the beat in your head, never be too far away from a metronome when practising.

Boss to a range of metronomes called "Dr Beat". There is a DB88 and a DB 90 as far as I know, they have human voice counts. As far as telling you what bar you are in, I'm not sure, you'd need to check the specs. I'd assume that they are pretty expensive though, I don't use beep metronomes, so I couldn't tell you. I much prefer swing arms.

edit: Or alternatively you can download one for free from here:

look down the page, the metronome has voice counting which can be used as beats
