Metronome Online

I found this awesome site a while back which has an online metronome. Remember the bongos we used in class? You would try to keep up with my tempo (playing speed). My tempo would get faster and faster - you would do your best to stay with me. This is something that will help build up your playing speed, rhythm, and - with enough practice - give you calluses.

A metronome is a device that makes an even ticking sound. The ticking can be largo (very slow), larghetto (fairly slow), andante (about in the middle of fast and slow), or allegro (fast). There are actually more names for tempo speeds, but you don't need to know them right now.

At metronome online you can choose a speed for practicing your music. For now, try switching between notes (somewhere in larghetto) and power chords (somwhere in largo or larghetto) - try to build up your speed!
