The Bandola study is fundamentally based on the rhythm of joropo, which is often quite fast. In order to acquire a stable technique maintaining any velocity, it is highly recommendable to make the most of metronomes. In the joropos, whether “tres” (joropos in 3/4) or “seis” (joropos in 6/8), the bass is played based on 3/4. Therefore it is proper to play the metronome in 3/4.

Recommendation of Metronome Use:
