Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

But my main point is that eliminating any click whatsoever, and playing it with midi alone seems to take away the 'crutch' that a click gives you, and might build up a kind of internal metronome better than working with the metronome's 'crutch'.
Trying it on a tune like "Freedom Jazz Dance" which I'm sure I can play with a metronome, might be a good tune to check that THEORY out on.

just record yourself and put in the metronome *afterwards*. dont forget to post the results

You got it bro!
On the gig tonight I felt very cool, but I only used the metronome, not MuseScore.
Speaking of Gatton, can we call him a jazz guitarist?
I sent that Holiday Inn gig he had with the trumpet player on You Tube to a friend of mine, who we can call the King of Bebop, and he said he's got his toes in the water, but his lines don't show the development of Bird and Bud.
What say youse?

If I understand this, it looks like the 4th fret on the high e string makes the 30th note, but that G# note isn't repeated for the trip down, so the low E note makes the 59th note which isn't repeated for the next cycle trip up starting on F with a new tick beat position of the metronome with respect to the start of the cycle (and the new midpoint 30 notes in is now G after G#). 60 quarter notes in 4/4 would be 15 measures, so you fall behind a beat each cycle with respect to the metronome... with corresponding fractional losses when playing eighths, sixteenths. Because this is 5 notes per string the up down string picking patterns alternate polarity with each string change within a cycle, but also the relationship of which notes in ordinal sequence of the new cycle take up and down strokes reverse with each cycle. This is a strict alternate picking nightmare.

Very well put.
