Can you suggest a good inexpensive metronome? Do all of them just have tic-toc sounds? I'd almost rather practice with a real sounding looping drum track or is that just as useful?
I've never used a metronome and I find it hard to tap my foot and play guitar at the same time! I know some kind of beat keeping device would help me once I get used to it though. -------------------- Webpage:

I'll probably get a basic metronome like shown in your lesson video. Computer ones are nice but I can't always be in front of the PC when I practice. I have 2 daughters always doing schoolwork on it! Thanks for your suggestions.

It only cost a few $ more than the Korg metronome and it contains amp modeling, effects and a drum machine. I never tried it out myself but I have an old Zoom 505II which was ok at that time (it's old now) and had a built in metronome + tuner. Perhaps the G1 has a built in metronome too? -------------------- My bands homepage

Something to consider after I read some reviews and such. Thanks. -------------------- Webpage:

I see I wrote in a way you could interpret it as the G1 does but I meant the 505II, I'm not sure about the G1. -------------------- My bands homepage

I've got a little Boss TU-80 that I got from Guitar Center for about $10.00. It's got tuner and metronome. I really like it... and you might too.
