How to play along with a metronome
A metronome is an essential yet often overlooked tool for guitarists aiming to improve their rhythm and timing. Take advantage of our free online metronome to practice your timing skills.
Setting and changing tempo
Slide the tempo indicator (marked by a red dot) LEFT TO SLOW DOWN or RIGHT TO SPEED UP. Tempo ranges from 20 to 280 BPM (beats per minute).
For a specific tempo, double-click on the displayed BPM and enter the number.
If you want to match the tempo of a song, repeatedly press TAP in time to its beat.
What are time signatures?
Time signatures are the heartbeat of a song, giving music its rhythm and feel. At the beginning of a piece of music, you'll see two numbers on top of each other, like 4/4 or 3/4.
TOP NUMBER = how many beats are in each measure.
If the top number is 4, you count four times before starting over.
BOTTOM NUMBER = what type of note gets one beat.
In a 4/4 signature, the "4" on the bottom means that a quarter note gets one beat. So, if it's 3/4, you're still counting quarter notes, but only three per measure.
A 3/4 time signature creates a waltz-like rhythm, while 6/8 time splits six beats into two groups of three, offering a unique beat pattern. Complex time signatures, such as 10/8, allow for creative grouping of beats, like 3+3+2+2. These aren't as common in mainstream music but are explored in genres like progressive rock and jazz.
Why should you practice with a metronome?
A metronome is a fantastic tool to help improve your sense of rhythm and maintain a steady tempo, particularly useful for practice and studio recordings. It can also help you learn more challenging sections of songs, by starting out slow and gradually increasing the tempo. With time and practice, your playing will become more precise and accurate.
