is a great help for timing.

Once you can play a piece in time and at (approx) the "right" number of beats per minute - it usually tells you on sheet music and on some tab what this is- then you can fancy it up,slow down,speed up whatever.

It's great to be able to futz about with the feel of a piece,but if you want accuracy.....

Most metronomes can be set to the right speed (give or take). I've only used the old clockwork ones and can tell you nothing more about them :eek:

Do some modern fx boxes have tickers/metronomes built in?
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
