I'm following the learn and master guitar course by steve krenz. I was wondering whether to use 4 beats  1 division or 4 beats 2 division (where metronome has 2 ticks for 1 beat)metronome for 8th note exercises. Any suggestions are welcome. 

Thank you.

Sorry for the late response, I just saw your post now.

You should set the metronome to the beat, so in those exercises in 4/4 time it would be 4 beats per bar. It's also what it means when when you see a specific tempo for a piece.

The same goes for foot tapping or strumming; your foot/hand will go down on the beat and up on the "and"s.
