Is there a way to only hear the metronome for a song, without the added instruments?
Currently, no. But this has been requested before and is on my list. It’ll be part of a larger overhaul of how instruments are managed, which will be necessary as I’m working on more guitar styles which will require more settings/preferences to be made available, plus I plan to offer other instruments such as various percussion options (drums, feet, triangle…) and, in the more distant future, another stringed instrument or two. 
Anyway, one of the additional “instruments” you’ll be able to choose will be a simple metronome click, which you can hear with or without the other instruments.

Would love to have this feature! I came here to put in a request and found this thread.
Here’s my reason: playing to a metronome is very helpful for me to focus on the “tick” but with an open-ended stream of ticks it is a bit awkward ending - especially if I am recording a practice session to send to my instructor. Having a click would allow me to set up a song with lots of repeats (like True Life Blues with its 7 repeats) to play to and have it end cleanly.

That would help alot…
Hello Luke!
I realize that this is an old topic, but I would also like to request a woodblock metronome sound addition to the Strum Machine. It would be very helpful in playing scales and in playing songs for which I would like timing assistance, but not instrumental accompaniment. Thanks for all you do!
Until there is an actual metronome, doesn’t the “feet” instrument help?
Some people definitely use the feet as a metronome. That said, Tyler and I have actually been iterating on metronome ideas in the background here, and I expect we’ll have a new feature related to the metronome for y’all to play with in a few months, if not sooner.
