Playing Along With Backing Track

Hi guys,

My name is Chris and I joined GMC about 2 months ago. I'm already seeing improvement in my playing which is amazing. Did all the lessons in absolute beginners and a few beginners lessons no problem. Now I'm emphasizing more on techniques that I want to master and they are jumping in difficulties which is not a problem as I can play slow and work my way up to play along with the instructor.

My problem is just playing with the backing track alone. When playing along to the video, I can follow the video just fine but I get lost with the backing track. Don't know what point of the song I'm at or when the notes should go together. I guess my solution may be work with a metronome more but it's still a bit tough to incorporate it to play along with the backing track itself.

I'm currently working on the lesson "Classical Ballad Bending Techniques" by Ivan Milenkovic

Any tips of how I can improve on playing along with backing tracks?

Thanks
