Groove Trainer

This is a YouTube-specific plugin for musicians who want to develop their groove, their inner metronome, time and feel.

Groove Trainer: Master Your Inner Clock This extension is a simple but powerful tool for musicians who want to develop their groove, inner metronome, and sense of time. It's designed to be used with YouTube. How It Works When you activate Groove Trainer on a YouTube video, it will randomly mute the audio for a few seconds and then unmute it, creating a "silent bar" effect. Your challenge is to keep your time steady—whether you're clapping, tapping your foot, or playing an instrument—so that you are perfectly in sync when the music comes back. This is a proven method for improving your internal sense of rhythm. Features • Simple Activation: Just click the extension icon on any YouTube video page to start or stop a session. • Customizable Intervals: In the options page, you can set the minimum and maximum duration for both the muted and unmuted periods, allowing you to tailor the difficulty to your skill level. Tips for a Great Practice Session • Start Simple: Begin with longer unmuted times and shorter muted periods. As your timing improves, challenge yourself by increasing the length of the silence. • Stay Engaged: Keep time with your body by tapping your foot or nodding your head. This physical connection helps internalize the beat. • Count Subdivisions: During the silent parts, count subdivisions (like "1-e-and-a...") in your head to stay locked into the tempo. This tool is perfect for any musician looking to build confidence and rock-solid timing.
