Rhythm method
I knew that would get your attention! I figured out a method that helps me get the pulse of a piece better than just listening to the metronome. I plugged my headphones into the metronome jack and (since it is monophonic) put the sound on the left ear. (It doesn't work on the right-- I'm assuming some kind of right brain effect although both ears do connect to both sides of the brain, unlike eyes.) It makes a huge difference in my ability to feel the pulse of the music while I play. I don't know yet if it will carry over when I turn the metronome off, but I think it probably will help a lot.

Re: Rhythm method
Something even simpler: with the metronome on, count out loud as you play. You'll perceive quickly enough if your counting is steady.

Re: Rhythm method
I can't do that unless it is extremely simple. Another left-right brain thing, I think.
