If you out the recording on synthetic you can control the bpm in her lessons. Furthermore if the reason this school needs a metronome is such that you can practice whatever you want with it then it kinda makes your argument of opening an app/webpage just to access a metronome invalid IMHO because that would make this school one of those webpages. I think the focus on the school should always be on what's offered in the lessons and those lessons have a metronome and if you want to practice something else and need a metronome you can find that elsewhere just the same so At the moment I don't see the added value of it tbh.

I'm all about keeping traffic on the school so I don't think an on-site Metronome would hurt to have at all - I tend to just stick a google metronome on if I need one and it still works if I'm on other tabs on my browser.
What would be cool is if the on-site metronome had some sort of unique feature compared to other metronomes on the web? Not sure what that would be though - maybe tempo presets based on Avenged Sevenfold's most covered tracks? Still that seems a bit much when you can just google the bpm and set it yourself (and tbh a bit gimmicky)
What I'd really love to see is an official Scales/Modes/Arpeggios/Chords Library - but I know much much of an undertaking that would involve

I didn't actually think of a tap tempo/note values option tbh, that would be handy! (dotted eighths would be fun) Like from a learning standpoint it isn't the biggest issue for someone to go onto another site for a click, or even download a phone app to sit with while they're on their laptop learning - but purely from a captive audience on the site type deal I think it could be a good idea. My thinking was that if the onsite metronome had that completely unique feature it would keep traffic on here, rather than giving it to other sites - and maybe bring other players to the site because it has that feature? - Possibly dreaming a bit too much but you never know haha

Hey Alex!
This is a GREAT idea that Syn and I have discussed before. We are on iteration 4 of the school and it just wasn't a priority. We have also talked about incorporating a virtual amp/pedal setup (with metronome) that you can plug into and practice without leaving the site.
Inevitably, when you bring something like this up, you're told - Sure we can TOTALLY do that! It will run between 50 and 100 thousand dollars. YIKES!!!! Long story longer - a metronome is on our long to-do list. Your instincts are spot on!
Thanks!
