Hello Victor,
The best thing you can do, imho, is to record yourself playing against a backing and let the people here listen to it, it's going to be hard for them to even suggest a lesson without hearing something. If you can't or don't want to post a recording, search out some timing lessons in the lessons section. Here are a couple https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Slow-Tempo-Control/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ming-exercises/ Looking forward to watching you develop

Is there any way you can record video? Even on your phone would be good, you can upload to YouTube if you setup a free account.
There can be many things causing timing issues and a video will really help the instructors, it could be something like tension, that's the kind of thing that will show in a video. The good thing is that you noticed the issue yourself. Have a look at this, it should help. https://youtu.be/nurMXLoR4oI Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Jan 16 2019, 08:34 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hello Victor,
Playing in time can be tricky and I used to be the same as you, in fact I still am, I find it easier to play along with the instructor, that's because hearing the instructor keeps you in check, it prompts you if you lag behind or play ahead. How I solve this when recording a lesson for the REC zone or just for myself is, I download the video and convert it to MP3 (google "download helper"). I learn the piece by playing along with the GP5 file first, to get it into my fingers using slow speed at first. When up to speed I play along with the lesson MP3 until I think I have it. I then put the backing track into my DAW (I use Reaper) and match the beats with the lesson MP3. I then mute the lesson MP3 and record myself playing along with the backing, When I've finished I un-mute the lesson MP3 (with instructor) and play my guitar recorded track along with the lesson, I usually pan my track hard left or right as it makes it easier to listen. This is where you can hear your timing errors. You can then try again and work on those areas. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is and I'm sure you'll manage it if you give it a go I hope this helps.

Hi Victor, It's great that you posted a video because it's very easy for us to help you. I can see clearly the issues which cause the timing failure. First of all you make a mess in picking direction. Everytime when you study a lesson, be very careful and use the same picking direction as the instructor. Every pick it's thought wisely and if you will follow the correct picking direction, you will feel a huge improvement in your playing and timing. Also keep in mind that the way of picking influence also the sound. The second issue which make you to lose the timing is your left hand. Be careful in lessons at the fingering. Try to play using the same fingers as the instructor. Also you move your left hand too much. Try to minimize your left hand movements and you will see that things will change in a very good way |
