try play with the Guitar pro files! use the metronomo of the Gpro and play on this!

and your timing and also all playing abilities will become much greater because of punctuation and rhythm feel 
And better set your metronome on single click(not triplets and whatever), well it worked for me

On 1-3 measures you have a click when you start and when you end. Be sure to hit the accent > note harder.
Where you try to do it all together still hit the beat note harder. This will help you remember where it is during a longer run. In 2 – 3 measure start with the finger you ended with in the last measure. 1-3 are to practice all of 4 in pieces with the metronome. will help with 16 notes.  Corrected

QUOTE (Eat-Sleep-andJam @ Apr 17 2009, 03:11 PM)  I have gone about 3 years now without playing with a metronome, and I still cant do it. I get lost at higher speeds trying to count with the about of BPM whether its Triplets or anything. I have watched Kris's How To Use a Metronome before but I just dont know why I still dont get it ! I need to learn how to use it so I can apply it to absoultley everything and get it in perfect time, But I have reached a point where I am about to give up trying to play fast if I cant learn how to use it ! HELP !  Hey mate, I struggle with this as well, if you check out Ivans pentatonics and modes series he plays through different scales and such from half notes right up to sixteenth triplets, it helps because the metronome and note placement are on the lesson and you just play along so you're not trying to "see" the timing yourself, anyway check them out at the link. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/lessonser...atonic-Workshop whilst you may know the scales in these lessons the timing is just as important! |

Here is what I wrote recently to synfection, hope you find it useful:
When practicing with metronome it is always good to cover as much different note values as possible. This is important for both rhythm and solo playing. I will explain on simple example: if you take a metronome and practice only eight notes with it, and not covering other note values, you will tend to play mostly eight note triplets when you try to improvise or play something. This kind of playing will not create rhythmical composition that is rich and powerful enough, and it may sound static, and not interesting. This is why we will apply metronome method where we cover everything that we play with as many note values possible. By exercising this way you will achieve much better rhythmical skills, and ability to mix and match different note values. This is very important when you do riffs or solo. To get you familiar with this method I want you to take a simple alternate picking exercise on one string like this (you can choose any string) --1--2--3--4-- and play it 2 times: - starting with downstroke - starting with upstroke i want you to go through this practice method (set metronome on 60bpm, 4/4 time signature, and don't put any accents on the first note. Make sure all the clicks sound the same. Also tap you foot while you play) 1. set metronome at 60bpm and do quarter notes (one note per click) 2. set metronome at 80bpm and repeat 3. set metronome at 100bpm and repeat 4. set metronome at 120bpm and repeat 5. set metronome at 60bpm and do eight notes (2 notes per click) 6. set metronome at 80bpm and repeat 7. set metronome at 100bpm and repeat 8. set metronome at 120bpm and repeat 9. set metronome at 60bpm and do eight note triplets (3 notes per click) 10. set metronome at 80bpm and repeat 11. set metronome at 100bpm and repeat 12. set metronome at 120bpm and repeat 13. set metronome at 60bpm and do sixteen notes (4 notes per click) 14. set metronome at 80bpm and repeat 15. set metronome at 100bpm and repeat 16. set metronome at 120bpm and repeat 17. set metronome at 60bpm and do sixteen note triplets (6 notes per click) 18. set metronome at 80bpm and repeat 19. set metronome at 100bpm and repeat 20. set metronome at 120bpm and repeat If you are not comfortable doing faster tempos, feel free to adjust the tempo the way you can pick the notes with ease. It is not intention to learn that exercise, but to get you familiar with different note values and this metronome practice method. If you are not familiar with some concepts that I mention, I suggest that you read this Andrew's article. You don't have to learn it or anything - just read it once and it will be enough. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=4363 This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Apr 17 2009, 09:50 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
