Free guitar lesson
Summary: Our first episode!
In our first ever episode on Another Guitar Show we start with the question "what is the number 1 thing that will improve your guitar playing". We also introduce two ear challenge sections to the show! see a full write up below as well!
Part 1: Metronome work
As the guys chat about in the first part of the video, using a metronome is so important to progressing your playing. So, the only thing the guys didn't talk about is where to find a metronome. You have a tonne of options from apps, websites, physical products and more. Here are a few links that may help you find the perfect metronome for you.
- 1. Simply type metronome into Google and Google has a really cool little app at the top of the screen.
- 2. https://www.metronomeonline.com/
- 3. Physical Metronome from KORG
- 4. If you use a MAC, fire up Garage Band and you can even drop in a drum loop!
- 5. Drum App online: It's a little more complicated, but drums can seriously help rather than 'bleep bleep'!
- 6. Fire up the app store on your phone and search 'metronome' and take your pick!
