How about playing with only a drum track that only plays a measure every 16 measures? How about playing with only a walking bass? You can mute any of the measures you want. You can mute any of the instruments or just play with a click. Some metronomes, you can mute some clicks throughout the beat, so you can even make it crazier such as making it play only one click every two or four bars.How familiar are you with BIAB? Some people take this to the next level and set their metronome to 40, but every click is thought of as the downbeat of a new bar, so you're actually playing at quarter note = 160 if you're at 40. It also helps your time feel, since you're not hearing all the quarter notes, you have to make it be there, on time, on your own. You're learning two things at a time through this method. It's much better to comp for yourself through a recorder and play it back, and play to that. Overusing playalongs makes you depend on the music to get to the changes rather than really outlining all the changes in your line playing. People who use BIAB or any form of playalongs tend to develop a need for it's use. Some metronomes, you can mute some clicks throughout the beat, so you can even make it crazier such as making it play only one click every two or four bars.
When you play with the metronome like that, you swing naturally, even if you don't notice it.
You're learning two things at a time through this method.Īs far as the 2 + 4 thing, in a standard jazz setting, it helps your swing feel since it does emulate the hi-hat. It works really well beacause it feels like you're playing with a band. You can put the chords of the tune in the application and then play the melody and you can also improvise over the changes.

It's good to use the metronome, but I would advise you to download Band In Box for practicing songs.
