I want to thank everyone who answered my questions a few weeks ago.
I’m the guy who was struggling, playing along with a metronome. I mean really struggling. You all me such great advice.
I took it to heart
As I told you, I was having an incredibly difficult time strumming this song and singing it.
The metronome, and I use the Justin metronome app, was certainly not my friend
Instead of ignoring my problem, I confronted it head on
I had to set the BPM at 50, and even then it was not easy to get my brain and my hands working together. I spent hours just working this out.
One of you said, don’t sing until you have the rhythm down 100%
So, that’s what I did
I want to tell you that we learn from each other
I just finished playing this song and singing it and in time at 100 BPM
Also, I’ve been using the random beat drop on the Justin app
I can now do various strum patterns in time at 120 bpm. For five minutes.
Justin, and this community, are the Safety net, for all of us, learning how to play the guitar, helping us appreciate the love of learning in the beauty of this instrument
So, thank you to everyone.
The metronome is now my friend
