Hello Moran, welcome to the

Hello Moran, welcome to the site. Thank your for your kind words, I'm glad that you're enjoying your studies.

Music has a pulse... a beat... it's what we tap our feet or clap our hands to. As musicians, we train ourselves to make that pulse consistent (evenly spaced), and a metronome is the main tool that we use.

Simply turn your metronome on and set it to a speed that's not too slow, nor too fast, for the selection of music that you're playing. In this lesson I tell you want speed I'm using... use this too. Listen to my sound relative to the metronome and copy what you hear.

If you would like a deeper dive into rhythm training (which uses the metronome), visit this lesson https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/rhythm_training
