I was taking some lessons though Truefire and the person teaching me Jazz said we should have the metronome click on 2 & 4 to create the swing feel? Then I heard others says that it should be 1 & 3
Do you have an opinion on this?
Thx

Definitely 2 & 4…these are the upbeats in 4/4 when counting in quarter notes. The swing element always takes place on the upbeats. When subdividing in 8th notes,it’s the same concept, the upbeats are on the 2nd 8th note of every beat.
