Metronome for Guitar
Allegro
A loud, clear click that cuts through an acoustic or electric guitar, with a speed trainer for scales and riffs.
Set it up for guitar
Wood and cowbell cut through a strummed acoustic; a higher pitch helps over distorted guitar. Raise the pitch and the accent volume in the rhythm sheet until the click sits on top of your sound.
Exercises
Scales and runs: start at a tempo you can play five times without a mistake, then let Trainer add 2 BPM every 4 bars. Stop when it gets messy and note the tempo in your practice log.
Questions
What metronome sound is best for guitar?
Wood or cowbell for acoustic guitar, a raised-pitch click or beep for electric. Choose what you can still hear clearly while playing loudly.
How do I get faster on guitar with a metronome?
Practise at a tempo you can play cleanly, then raise it by 2 to 5 BPM. Trainer can do this automatically every few bars.
Can I tune my guitar here too?
Yes. The guitar tuner uses your microphone and supports standard and Drop D tuning.
