Default Dont underestimate the metronome..

Hi all

Countless times i've seen on the forum users telling newbies to use a metronome when practicing..
Well I'd say i have pretty good time, not perfect- but then again who is? I can keep a pretty constant tempo, and my band mate is the same.. individually. When we're together we fluctuate, somewhat slightly, but still enough for a musicians ear to notice. So last night we decided to have a try with a metronome - WOW. Huge improvement with consistancy.

I mentioned we were decent at time keeping alone. I think that when you play with someone else, ie 2+ people, your own interpretation of time is different (if only by 1/2 bpm) and things start to clash. The more people the more clashing.
Having a third party time keeper works wonders and, like pretty much everyone else on here, i too highly recommend a metronome.

EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW
