The tuner listens through your microphone, works out which string you're playing and goes green when you're within 3 cents. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. The tuner is also in the menu at the top of every page.
Send Joe a clip and get personal feedback on your playing, plus a plan for what to work on next.
See Mentorship PlansSet the tempo with the slider, the −5 to +5 buttons or Tap tempo (tap along to a song a few times and it works out the speed). Choose how many beats are in a bar and how many clicks you want in each beat: quarters, 8ths, triplets, 16ths, swung 8ths or sextuplets.
Every click has its own column. Tap a column to change it between accent, normal, soft and silent. Accent beat 1 to hear where the bar starts, or silence beats 1 and 3 so the click only lands on 2 and 4, like a drummer's backbeat. That one change does wonders for your groove.
Switch to Drum machine and pick a beat to start from: rock, pop, half-time, funk, hip-hop, four on the floor, blues shuffle, jazz swing, reggae, bossa nova, metal and more. Or press Clear and build your own. Click a square to add a hit, click again for an accent, again for a soft ghost note, and once more to clear it. Drag along a row to fill it in quickly.
Choose the bar length, a grid of 8ths, 16ths or triplets, and one or two bars. Swing pushes the off-beats late for a shuffled feel, and Humanise adds tiny timing and volume changes so it sounds less like a machine. Click a drum's name to mute it, and use Copy link to share your beat.

Yes. The metronome and drum machine are free, with no sign-up, and run in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Tap the columns for beats 1 and 3 until they go silent. The click then only plays on 2 and 4, which is great for feeling swing and backbeat grooves.
It speeds the metronome up automatically, by a set number of BPM every few bars, until it reaches the top speed you choose. It helps you build speed gradually without stopping to change the tempo.
Yes. Switch to Drum machine, clear the grid or start from one of the beats, and click the squares to add kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, cymbals and percussion. Your beat is saved in your browser and Copy link shares it.
Yes. The metronome goes from 1 to 12 beats a bar, and the drum machine from 2 to 7 beats with an 8th, 16th or triplet grid, so 5/4, 7/8 and 6/8 feels are all possible.
