#Evenly strum the guitar to the beat, hitting just one strum per beat. Just work on one simple strum per beat. This isn't glamorous, but focus on hitting every beat perfectly for 1-2 minutes straight. Really try to get you strumming perfectly matched to the beat.<br><br>

#*Once this becomes easier, start upping the speed, still sticking to just one strum per beat.

#Try out a more complicated strumming pattern to keep improving. Once you can strum every beat, it's time to start playing "real" guitar. Pick a couple of chords you are comfortable with -- something simple, like G-C-D -- and start an up-down strumming pattern you can hold comfortably. Up the speed of the metronome, focusing on holding your rhythm even when you have to change chords.<ref>https://www.guitarhabits.com/you-need-to-keep-time-and-lock-in-with-the-beat/</ref><br><br>

#Set the metronome to cut out every other measure, forcing you to stay on time without a guide. This is a key feature for practice -- the metronome goes silent for a measure, but comes back in right on time. Your job is to come back on time with it. As you get better and better, keep making the intervals between measures longer and longer. Once you can stay on perfect time even when the metronome cuts out you will have the rhythm mastered.<br><br>

#Try different tempos and time signatures each time you practice. Set the machine to eighth notes, or 3/4 time. Get really crazy and try out a song in 7/4, or drop the BPM so low you really need to focus on each well-spaced beat. Metronome practice doesn't have to be boring if you're willing to challenge yourself.<ref>https://www.uberchord.com/blog/5-ways-to-use-the-metronome-that-will-change-the-way-you-play-guitar/</ref><br><br>
