@Joshua Rogers My hands, I found, have rhythm, but not my individual fingers. (Strumming, singing melody, and grabbing chords did not develop rhythmic fingers needed for playing melodies). Classical, jazz, some folk, and other styles taught me my metronome needed to direct my individual fingers. Left hand finger independence, preparation, hovering, pressing gently, releasing, and respecting rests and note lengths all required practicing all this with my metronome. (Sixteenth notes, as in your Canon in D, demanded this left hand finger coordination discipline). Right hand finger thumb preparation, muting, etc also needed rhythm training. I finally realized, my guitar required me to use my metronome and fingers working together to create music with rhythm. Just my experience. Every guitarist learns what they need in their own way. For me, my fingers, not just my hands, needed to follow my metronome. NBN got me thinking a new way. Note by note required my fingers to get flying rhythmically…finger by finger! Many thanks.
