I'm a guitar player, and I've always shied away from practicing with a metronome, even though I know it's critical to improving my timing and feel. So I built an app to make it easy and fun: I can easily pull up all my pieces, find or create new exercises, and put them over drum beats instead of a plain click. Real-time visual feedback on timing, dynamics and note accuracy helps me understand where I need to concentrate, and lets me see my progress over time. This creates a positive feedback loop and leads me to spend more time with my instrument. Speaking of loops, you know I had to add a looper, too. Playing with a looper is the most reliable way to get me hooked in and warmed up.
