Metronome Boot Camp

December 16, 2017 by Josh Frets

Get rhythm.

How you play is way more important than what you play.

The intertubes abound with lessons on how to shred, but when it comes to that most important of skills—killer time & feel—teachers are suddenly vague (or silent).

“Use a metronome!” they say.

No shit, asshat. Show me how.

So instead of well-meaning BS advice from folks who don’t actually know, I made you this.

These are the exact exercises I used to transition from “bartender who’s in an ok band” to “guy who gets paid to tour the country playing music with superbadasses.”

We’ll cover the specific things you’ll need to do to get your time & feel together so you can sound like a badass professional.

It’s an in-depth series of articles, meant to be read, re-read, revisited, and wrestled with.

Jump to an individual lesson, or grab a copy to go for future reference.
