One of the challenges while playing an electric guitar with the laptop on Ubuntu is getting a metronome that works with Jackd.
I'm a noob guitarist and need the metronome to learn keeping time while playing. After trying GTick, I've switched to GTKLick because it is compatible with Jackd. By compatible I mean, you can hear the metronome when the Jackd server is switched on. Usually all sound output from the any application (except for any app that the guitar uses) is shut off when Jackd is switched on.
This application is available on Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center.
After setting up your guitar using Jackd you can open the app and get it to work by selecting Automatically connect to soundcard output in the preferences window.
