Swingin with the Metronome

Post by Ron Hogan »

I've always loved the 1,4,5,2,6 progression. There's just something about it that makes you want to swing it. And don't forget your metronome. It keeps you straight.

John, Search SPARK AMP in you iPhone app. It's really supposed to be used with communication to the actual amp, but you can still use it for the metronome.

Here's another little practice for me. Of course speeding it up little by little helps to challenge your chops.

One of my most favorite progressions of all time. Can’t hear it to much.

Go on the cloud and search steel guitar. It will take you to my setting. But you’ll still have to tweak. The head phone Jack out sounds different compared to using the speakers. But my setting will get you close. Then tweak away.

This sample is with the speakers vs. the last sample I did direct. Short C6 sequence.

I love this practice tool as it can be any Drone Tone you want(for great intonation practice) and you can see the Metro up at top and select the speed and practice with Both those going....I LOVE IT....but now when I go play with the band; it just shows me how much more they SUCK then I do..ha...
