Hector Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi guys, Looking for a good metronome program to download. Preferably free as I'm a tight git. Needs to be able to go down to 2-3bpm as well, for some exercises that involve trying to play along with slower clicks. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers.

lobematt Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 There's loads of free metronome apps, don't know how slow they all go but worth a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have one on my iPhone, which is great, but I'm looking for PC software for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrenleepoole Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Guitar Tookit is a very good iOS app, but you have to pay for it (I think). It offers a lot more than just a metronome though, such a tuner, loads of alternative tunings etc. Opps... not iOS! Sorry.

Joebass Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 This one goes down as low as you need. Can't see any practical use for 2 bpm though - that's one beat every 30 seconds!

GonzoBass Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yes, 2-3 bpm had me scratching my head too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Playing an exercise where I start at 128bpm in time with the metronome. Then I keep playing at the same tempo, halving the metronome as I go. Eventually, I'm playing at 128bpm, with the metronome at 2bpm (which is one beat every 16 bars). That single beat is a check to make sure I have good time, but not a crutch to lean on, so the good time really comes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 http://www.threechords.com/hammerhead/download.shtml This one's simple, but works great. You don't need to go that slow with bpm, all you need to do is adjust note lenghths (different drum parts, in this case), and you'll be able to go [i][u]really [/u][/i]slow with putting metronome on 30bpm or something.
