Where you place the Core on your body can have a big impact on your experience. What works best is different for each musician. The included body strap and body strap rig allow you to wear the Core on your arm, shoulder or ankle. Add the included extension piece to wear it on your thigh or chest. Tip: for your first few sessions, try out different locations to see which one feels best. That said, wearing it on the chest is usually the most effective location. Remember to keep the strap tight the tighter the strap, the stronger the feeling of the vibrations. If you have thin arms or ankles To set the body strap to its smallest setting, align the arms of the rig with the markings on the strap as shown in the illustration below. Video: Metronome www.snbr.io/sbc-metronome Vibrating metronome How to feel the beat. Using a vibrational metronome is different. When you first start using the Core, you need to get used to it first. Dont give up - youll get better over time. Its just like learning to practice with a traditional metronome!

Over time, the vibration can even become a subconscious feeling that helps you keep the beat without thinking about it. Vibrating metronome Setting up a rhythm. 1.
