    I messed with one and thought the Zoom 234 was easier to use.

    Robert , my Zoom G1 has built in drum machine and I just can't seem to get the hang on sticking with some of the rhythms. I want to build up my speed on chords and changing but I'm having a tough time of gettin in time to this.
    I don't care for a metro, I guess it will just take more time.

    Your unit should have tempo control for those beats. Slow them down at first then gradually increase the tempo. If you perfect your strumming or picking patterns at a slower speed then gradually speeding up should give you the same perfection. Just work in 5 bpm increments.

    Say you are comfortable strumming a piece at 80 bpm, the next step is to go to 85 bpm, then 90 bpm etc. Spend considerable time in each speed as it will be useful later to know what 95 bpm feels like (or other tempos). If you spend enough time there you will know instinctively how it feels.
