Learn good timing on the banjo with hand picked metronomes by Ross Nickerson and BanjoTeacher.com
Metronomes and banjo playing go hand in hand, that can't be stressed enough. How many drummers do you think there are that don't use metronomes to practice? Aren't we playing a drum with strings, an instrument that lacks sustain, just like a drum? Without proper timing, banjo playing sounds like random notes that go nowhere.
My favorite metronome is the Matrix MR800. The MR 800 is loud and sounds like a drum stick hitting a block of wood which works best for me. It is very easy to use and also has a headphone jack for private practice. We feature quartz brand metronomes too, the Korg TM60 Metronome and Tuner, We have the cadillac of banjo metronomes, the Boss DB-90 and the other high quality Boss Banjo Metronomes, the Boss DB-30 and Boss DB 60. Those are easy to use and even easier to carry along in your pocket or banjo case and feature a headphone jack. Here is a banjo metronome video to check out.
