Anyways, I'm wondering about when I practice with the metronome, should I just make it beep on the quarter notes? Or if I'm practicing lets say sixteenth notes, should I let it beep on all the sixteenth notes or just on the quarter notes and just count the sixteenth notes for myself? I've been counting lately, and I think that it's really a lot to think about when doing the, so it might be good, but on the other hand, it makes practicing some complicated licks a lot harder.

The whole point of the metronome is that you learn how to make each note even timing. So if you find that you are playing 4 notes per beat, but one is great, and the other three are rushed in to get to the next beat, you might find it easier speeding the metronome up and playing 2 notes per beat, until you get used to relaxing and playing the notes even.

I have a Boss TU-80 Tuner & Metronome with an output and an input - but I can't get it to sound through the amp!! How do I set this up? Can anyone help me?

I'm no genius but you could try plugging your guitar into the input of the metronome and then have a lead going from the metronome's output to your amp's input. (that would take 2 leads). Not sure though mate, i actually don't own a metronome as such, i just use the one on my computer. Good luck though- hopefully someone else can help you out more.

DeepRoots Thanks DeepRoots! Just tried it - didn't work! Tried a few combinations but were unsuccessful! I've been told it may be that the metronome does not amplify!? You are the first member I've "talked" to since joining on Saturday. I introduced myself and asked for info on where to start on the lessons. Could you offer any advice? I am looking through the Beginner Lessons and the metronome is doing my head in. Been playing on and off for two years and never used one!!!

Just guessing wildly now, but it might be that the output jack is just a passthru from the input and the metronome just clicks in the builtin speaker.

Been playing on and off for two years and never used one!!! Hi warchild. I actually looked at that metronome when buying one (ended up with the DB-60 - don't need the tuner). The only use for the output would be to allow you to play the guitar without removing the metronome from the signal path. Actually, just checked Boss' online manual, and sure enough, under Panel Descriptions - 4. OUTPUT Jack, it says "* The metronome sound will not be output". So, no luck EDIT: As blindwillie said This page must have been hanging around before I replied. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
