metronome help
hey
i need help with my metronome that i bought the other day
i have no idea how to use it when practicing chromatics.
basicly it goes:
bleep...tick...tick...tick... bleep...tick...tick...tick...etc etc
ok, now what the hell do i do with that?
i tried doing chromatics like this:
bleep...tick...tick...tick
...1.......2.......3......4
but that was amazingly slow, even at 208bpm!
am i doing it wrong? is my technique wrong? is my understanding wrong? is the metronome set up wrong? is it broken? am i broken? please help, im pullin my hair out here, its amazingly frustrating!!!!  |

I thought we had talked about this before 
tick .... tick ... tick ... tick ...
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
----------------------------1-2-3-4---
-------------------1-2-3-4-*----------
----------1-2-3-4-*-------------------
-1-2-3-4-*----------------------------
*
Every * is a tick. Four notes per click. Do not increase the speed until you can play correctly and cleanly. |

mine has a bleep too, but you can turn it off so its just ticks. Each bleep/tick is a quarter note. So if you play 16th note chromatic scales theres four notes per each tick. The bleep is just a measure marker for 4/4 time. Haha I dunno why your freakin out so bad, its common sense.

uh no........
its
beep 2 3 4 beep 2 3 4 beep 2 3 4 beep 2 3 4
the beep represents the start of another bar.
my metronome has two lights - yellow and red. It goes
Red yellow yellow yellow Red yellow yellow yellow etc
hope that is useful
might take some time to get that up to 208 bpm
