This is a clip from the livestream we held in which I talked about how to play your first few songs along with the metronome.  The speed of the beats is called the tempo.  The larger the number, the faster you will play since the number represents the number of beats in one minute.  During this stream, we play eighth notes, quarter notes, and half notes along with the metronome.  Remember to "feel" the beat by playing quarter notes with the beat, or moving your body.
