Rita convinces Professor B to reveal the “Super Secret Mega Metronome Technique!”
Nowadays, nothings really a secret. Why have the almighty INTERNET, to show us the way? Or, CNN or MSNBC. LOL! I’m just playing. They’re not real news.
They’re just a reality tv show produced by George Soros. Now, that’s the truth.
Or am I fake news?
Anywho…
This technique that I discovered as a kid is to really internalize your timing. No human will ever be like the metronome and on point. There are no human androids except for Mark Zuckerberg. That guy has a human-sized charging station in his garage that’s bigger than my house. He charges every night. Not fake news I promise. =)
The Mega Metronome technique is very simple to get the hang of at first until you reach only one click for every bar. That’s when It gets tough.
Here’s a quick rundown.
- First, choose the scale, song or riff that you’re working on.
- Learn it first without any metronome, to get your hands working.
- Then choose a slow to medium tempo to start. Anything 90bpms and under.
- Mute the fourth click. For a time frame start off with just three minutes with the first three clicks.
- You will need a digital metronome for this. The traditional one will not work.
- Mute the fourth and third click. Leaving two clicks for three minutes.
- Then, mute the fourth, third and second click. Leaving one-click for three minutes.
- As you record yourself and watch for improvement. You then increase to five minutes each and so forth.
Now you’ll be able to internalize the timing like a pro. George Soros or Mark Zuckerberg, the android rulers of our universe won’t be able to touch you.
