When you first begin to use a metronome for your guitar practice you should start on a slow speed. Get comfortable fitting your guitar playing in with the metronome. The metronome is calibrated in beats per minute (bpm) so start off at around fifty bpm. When you start the metronome beating, try and hear the first beat of each bar, for example, ONE two three four, ONE two three four, etc. You might need to devote all of one or two lessons to getting the hang of using the metronome.
Once the feeling of strangeness has worn off, you can start hearing the emphasized beats coinciding with the sound of the metronome.
Here is a video from Berklee Music showing how to use the metronome to emphasize the strong beats of the music:
