timmo Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 When playing to a metronome, do you count the first beat. So click 1, click 2, click 3, click 4. Or is it click, Click 1, click 2 , click 3, click 4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I run it on half BPM, and hear it on beats 2 and 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 [quote name='Drax' timestamp='1427799811' post='2734315'] I run it on half BPM, and hear it on beats 2 and 4 [/quote] This. What's also useful is to set it to click as beats 1, 2, 3 &4, then play semiquavers (so a slow tempo is best) and use the 'click' on the first of the 4 semiquavers, then play with it on the 2, 3 and 4. Bit of a head-melt, but a GREAT technical exercise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyd Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I usually go with 2 & 4 as others have said, but sometimes just on 4 can be nice as this forces you to concentrate a bit more on timing. I tend to play walking bass lines so this might not be as applicable to other styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
