Yeah I've mentioned this before too.. I really think it's easier to sink into a groove which has more elements of percussion rather than just an isolated click.

Same for me, it just feels better to play to a backing track instead of performing to a click. And when it feels better I also play better, as simple as that.

As Ben said, there's more rhythmic background to sustain you and the mind and body feel more comfy
 It's the same for me mate

Backing tracks give you much more rhythmic information to help you keep time, a metronome is harder and makes you use your internal clock more.
I too am crap with a metronome compared to a backing track but I persist as I know it will make me better. Try playing with a metronome set to eighth notes and then quarter notes and then just the first beat of the bar and see how you keep time, it's a fun exercise.

I noticed this with your Vivaldi lesson Coz. Although, I still like pushing myself to practice with metronome only many times. I feel like anything that is tougher, forces you to become a better player. It won't hurt my groove when I play with a band, but it makes you a better listener to what's going on around you and helps sharpen your timing, IMO.

You are very much correct Gabe If you become able to perform with a metronome in a relaxed and precise manner, your overall tightness will increase and when the richer grooves, where a drum and a bass guitar are involved, will kick in, the magic is most likely to happen Remember, the Magical Rhythm Exercise with those backing tracks I gave you guys?

This also happens to me! and I agree with Ben about the reason, you incorporate the groove much more using a backing track.

Alex is right of course, when it comes to simple practicing a metronome is a great tool, just when it comes to finally performing and recording I definitely prefer to have a proper backing track.
