"Hello, I'm Aaron De Azevedo and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village to teach you about good practicing techniques and how to use them at your know when you practice. A metronome looks something like this and what it does is it has a little clicker that keeps time for you so lets hear that. Can you hear that? So now I have a rhythm. It's good to play with a metronome because well the idea of playing guitar is your probably going to want to play in a band. Want to play with a drummer or going to be playing by yourself your going to be able to keep good time. Stay together with everybody so with the metronome whenever I'm practicing I like to keep it going to keep the rhythm going. If I'm practicing these cords that we learned so let's, I'm playing with a metronome so It's like I'm playing with a band. Pretty simple. Anything anytime you should really sit down and practice your going to want to have a metronome handy and your going want to, your going to want to use it. The good thing about these is also as you get better you can up the speed. So, say I can play that easily now I can go and make it faster like so. And every metronome is different so now it's clicking faster. And that's how you play with a metronome."
