Members AaronF Posted December 6, 2008 Members Posted December 6, 2008 I'm actually thinking about getting one. My timing could use some work, and I like to practice at a decent volume and play with intensity - so I have trouble hearing my current metronome. One Benjamin is a bit much for a metronome, but I figure it is for a good purpose. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with one, or sees any potential flaws in getting one.
Members 1001gear Posted December 6, 2008 Members Posted December 6, 2008 Probably be useful live - especially if you could lock several together. Timing would be tricky. Even beeps have a time spread that will influence an individual's perception of the beat. This thing is a vibrator? I wouldn't abandon the ole clock for practice though. Unplug the guitar and shed the precision stuff separately.
Members Mike Saville Posted December 8, 2008 Members Posted December 8, 2008 Not seen that - thanks for the tip. I'll be checking it out.
Members Stackabones Posted December 8, 2008 Members Posted December 8, 2008 I've got it. Very cool. Could also be used for studio work. I let a couple of my students use it during lessons, and I noticed that their timing improved immediately -- they like the feel of it compared to the loud ticking of trad metronomes.
Members stratitude Posted December 9, 2008 Members Posted December 9, 2008 I don't usually expect to get GAS from this forum, but the idea behind this gadget really appeals to me. I can only really play well with a rhythm when I have it internalized, and it seems like feeling the beat would make it much faster to internalize than the old method of hearing the beat. Plus it's probably much more difficult to ignore a pulse than it is a click. I gotta track one of these down and try it out. Thanks for sharing!
Members jusca Posted December 10, 2008 Members Posted December 10, 2008 That's an interesting metronome!
