it's ridiculous how important practicing with a metronome seems to be when trying to learn to play something on an instrument, it's like my body “locks onto” the rhythm and actually starts playing properly in a way i simply wouldn't otherwise, and the effect persists afterwards
the effect is about much more than rhythm per se, i think it's something about it tightening your hand movements to make them mechanical and, well, rhythmic, rather than improvised???
