On beat, or not? How do I _know_

Again, tanks to you all. I’m a nerd, so I nerded out.
(I learned that it is very hard for me to intentionally play off of the beat.)
Here’s how I implemented @mathsjunky 's suggestion to use Garage Band.
@CT I agree–being able to be off beat ever so slightly (eg J.J.Cale) can make it very interesting.

  1. Open Garage Band
  2. Configure to use laptop mic and speaker, turn metronome up loud
  3. Record track (which will also record the metronome)
    for this demo, I used the “G” string
  4. Turn “Flex” on and look where played beat is early or late.
