Hey guys
I have been practicing a lot with a click track lately and it is frustrating me a lot
Anyway, I have found some methods which works great for me and I hope you guys will benefit as well, maybe you already know it, but here it goes.
When I am practicing I tend to "search" a lot for the click. It ticks away and suddenly I cant hear it (because Im on it) and then I drift a bit off again. Anyway, the first thing I did was to change the sounds so instead of having just a click I had kick and snare. The second, and probably most important thing was this: Play off the click. This is tricky at first, though. Imagine that the Click is playing off beats, "the and's". In that way you can hear the click all the time and you can groove with it. And when you have a perfect Disco-ish groove going between you and the click, you know that you are right on.
Hope that this will help you.
Best regards
