  1. A quote from Mr Berlin: I simply cannot think of a single name in all of jazz where a metronome played any part in the developed sense of time. That's all the reason I need to practice with a metronome. Jazzists never play on the beat anyway. Metronome practice made a huge difference to my timing. Starting with scales then moving on to riffs with more interesting rhythm.
  2. To be fair to him he has a severe disability as a musician. Everyone knows gingers don't have souls. Disclaimer: possession of a soul may not be dependent on hair colour.
  3. A t**t with a guitar who only knows one chord progression
  4. Fender Play and Scott's Bass Lessons are OK but not much cheaper than proper one to one lessons and not as good. Online lessons tell you how to do things but don't point out your mistakes or bad technique. Timing is one of the most important skills to learn. It's really dull but playing scales to a metronome is really good practice. It doesn't matter that you can play the complete works of Jaco Pistorious if you can't keep time with the drummer while doing it.
