WTF is a click? A metronome for the ear?
To quote my son the drummer, I don't need no steenkin' click. I am the click!
Actually, most drummers need a click… Pretty badly…

He ain't too shabby...If he wanted, he could be a first-call guy in Austin.
Amazingly enough, I've got a five year-old granddaughter that can keep time better than most adult musicians. I don't think she'll be a pianist, although she's been taking lessons since she was four, but I think she has her mother's ear.
My daughter has ears like a bat.
True story...She was home from college one Christmas and walked through the family room munching a sandwich. I was watching a Boston Pops Christmas concert on the tv. Never slowing her stride, she said between bites, "The second clarinet is flat", as she walked out of the room. The wife and I looked at each other, and I turned the volume up.
I'll be durned. She was right...

That's rad. My family pretty much doesn't do music. My parents, anyway. My uncle's always been decent with a piano. I can keep from embarrassing myself on a guitar these days but that's it.

Oh, I've lost what little bit I had. Can't hardly play a radio without static. Wife plays piano and autoharp (can pick one a bit), son primarily is a drummer, but can play bass, guitar and a bit of piano. Daughter is a flutist and plays guitar and piano.
Nephew will be here Saturday. He plays primarily a steel guitar, but also plays dobro, flattop guitar, jazz guitar, banjo and mandolin.
The musical talent in the family comes from my wife's daddy's side. Some are so-so, some are decent and a few are good. Probably a half-dozen of them have worked in Nashville over the years, from houseband stuff to sidemen with acts like James Monroe, Loretta Lynn and the Dixie Chicks.
Funny how that stuff runs in families...

Thanks 89. You saved me from asking the same question. LOL

What is “the click”?
The “click” is a digital metronome that musicians listen to while recording to ensure their rhythm is exactly in time with the tempo. A simple and now nearly ubiquitous part of the recording process, it has had a profound effect on the music we listen to.

It doesn't have much effect on the music I listen to. I'm pretty sure Miles Davis didn't use one when he recorded Kind of Blue.
Fucking computers.

If they truly did that, I'd be there every Sunday. But it'd have to be with Gladys.
