[QUOTE=CSchlegel]The trick is to play with the metronome. Don't react to it, don't try to follow it. You have to practice enough with it until you can build an internal sense of rhythm; of a steady, constant pulse. Then you can anticpate the beat along with the metronome and play along with.


Ok, let me see if I get it right. Do you mean that I don't really need a starting point when using a metronome, what's most important is a steady rythm? For example when I start a scale on 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 I most time when repeating the scale is ahead or behind the 1 count.
This may sound strange but I really need to know.
