Ultimate Metronome Review
A Great Choice for a Digital Metronome
Even if you become a guitar master and know every note there is to know on the fretboard, you still may be lacking a crucial ingredient to good guitar playing: Rhythm and timing. Ultimate Metronome seeks to change all that. Ultimate Metronome is a downloadable digital metronome that gives you advanced features that a traditional metronome rarely can provide.
Tip: Even if you don't pick the Ultimate Metronome up, make sure that you begin using a metronome or time-keeping device in your practice time. It will make it easier to track how you're progressing, build good rhythm patterns and allow you to challenge yourself to pick up your pace.

Features
Priced at under twenty dollars, Ultimate Metronome is a pretty nice deal. One of it's features include being able to accentuate the beat of your choosing. For example, you could give every 3rd beat a different tone to separate it from the others.
Included with Ultimate Metronome are 7 great-sounding beat sounds to choose from: High Hat, Snare Drum 1, Snare Drum 2, Side Stick, Wood Block, Cowbell, and Bass Drum.
Another really cool feature of the Ultimate Metronome that you can't get with traditional metronomes or even other digital metronomes for that matter is it's "advanced" or "Speed Drill" mode. It allows you to increase the beats per minute after each specified time interval. For example, if you wanted to increase the BPM by 5 every 35 or 60 seconds, you can do that with Ultimate Metronome.
