I can see the way you pick, that you are tensing up a bit. We all do it at first, but try to get in the habit of moving your arm around a bit when you catch yourself. Your not terrible dude, I thought it was decent and nice axe! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

About the rhytm bit, you could try practicing with a metronome for starters, that should get you started. Also playing along with songs you like and backing tracks of them should help alot.

From watching you play I can see you are really keen and enjoying what you are doing, and that is the main thing - enjoyment I think your doing well, I would recommened always practice to a metronome, drum beat or backing track to tighten up your playing. Work on playing clean and building your control The best sounding players are those with good timeing and control over there instraments.
