How to practice with a metronome
A simple routine to play cleanly first, then faster.
Start slow
Pick a tempo at which you can play the passage without mistakes.
Play on the click
Line up each strum or note with the beat. The accent marks the start of each bar.
Speed up a little
Once it feels easy, raise the tempo by a few BPM and play it again.
