When I use a metronome I find that it constantly changes its tempo!

Why do you "get kind of mad" when you use a metronome?Sometimes for feeling the real tempo and then I think ,,oh it ain't that fast...I get a kind of mad when using it..
but I know it is very useful..

I thought this was one of the laws of physics... its certainly true in my world!When I use a metronome I find that it constantly changes its tempo!

You're right about metronomes being BORING. Maybe I should use some sort of drum track to keep it more interesting. But there's no two ways about it, I need to work on my timing!Hey Daryl,
So glad you included "Other" as a choice. These days, I pull out the metronome just to check out the tempo of other's songs so that I know what speed to play them. Otherwise, I use a drum track to keep time when I play. A drum track is much more interesting and tends to be a better guide for adding dynamics; a metronome puts me to sleep.
More detail:
I actually use a metronome about once a week to check tempos. When I'm blocking out a song, I don't use a guide for tempo. Just play it. Generally, a drum track is used during a full rehearsal. When I find it necessary to create a new drum track, I am constantly playing against it to make sure everything is in the right place during construction. This gives me lots of practice time with it. If you consider the drum track as a form of metronome, then I would have to say that I use it often.
