How to practice with a metronome

Start slower than feels comfortable — a clean note at 70 BPM beats a sloppy one at 120. Lock the chord change or riff in at that tempo until it's effortless, then nudge the BPM up a few clicks and repeat. The downbeat accent (the brighter click on beat 1) helps you feel the bar so you don't drift. Practising to a steady click is the single fastest way to tighten your timing.

FAQ

What BPM should I practice at?

Start at a tempo where you can play every note cleanly, often 20–40 BPM below the target. Speed up only once it is perfectly clean.

What is tap tempo?

Tap a button in time with a song and the metronome calculates its BPM for you — handy when you do not know a track's tempo.

Is this online metronome free?

Yes. It is free, runs in your browser and needs no download or sign-up.

Why practice with a metronome?

It builds steady timing and exposes the spots where you rush or drag, which is the fastest way to play tighter.
