Thanks for posting this. Never had any of his instructional videos and I'd never seen this clip before. Well, he said it so end of discussion.

Very interesting, I've always been hesitant to use a metronome, it has just always seemed too restrictive, but I've never thought about it the incredible way Tony describes it here
-
I wish he would have discussed using the metronome as a learning tool. I’ve always said that when learning a tune, locking in the rhythm is the very first task. The metronome helps. If I can’t play the tune with the metronome I don’t know it. However, I see Tony’s point. No metronome when really taking the tune to playability.

Take. Notes.

I'm a rhythm guitar player. In my first lesson i was told that a rhythm guitar player can play a song without a lead guitar. But... a lead guitar player cannot play a song "without " a rhythm guitar. Later on when i was out doing gigs , those words came back so often. Both BB King and Tony Rice don't know how to play rhythm guitar. Timing is key, and in a band, musicians play off each other. The Bass and rhythm keep the Train on the Tracks...ty Tony...

I always say the same. Playing to click tracks in the studio makes things dry and fake to me.
-
I believe you should practice with a metronome but when you are playing be free and you will find that you can be free to push or pull a song without going off the rails
-
I'm just a hobo in an old freight train, but that don't mean a thing
-
While I agree, I also think people use this train of thought to justify their shaky rhythm
