Hi All,

I am a beginner and I've no idea about how to use the metronome when practicing the songs. I've used it only to practice chord changes so far and I think it helps a lot. I want to use it to practice the songs as well. I've searched on the web for some instructions but I could not find a good one.

I am using the metronome on the Tools section on Guitar Tricks. Currently I am trying to play the song "Darling Destination" which is taught by Lisa McCormick. I assume that "Allegro" should be 140 and "Beats per measure" 2 on metronom for this song since the tempo of the song is 140 and Lisa strums 2 times for each chord. I tried to use with this numbers but it did not match exactly with the song.

I would appreciate if anyone can help me to figure out how to use it.

Thanks!
