I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand.
I have been trying to adjust, but can’t seem to progress.
Is there a metronome app that would give me a strong visual clue when I am not exactly on the beat?
- Edit for clarification: I am looking for an app that will call me out in real-time, either visually or audibly, whenever I play offbeat.
Why am I bothering with this?
I have heard musicians talking about making the metronome sound disappear by playing at the exact right time. I also noticed some people frowning when I play a split second before the click. Is it worth improving that aspect? Is there a better way to do it?
6 months ago, you offered this advice. I followed it (as well as other suggestions in these comments, and it has helped a lot. You were right, it did take longer than expected. Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for following up! I’m thrilled that you were able to make progress! Keep it up! Cheers, friend.
