I have gotten to a point where I feel confident in my lead skills and need to focus on two major areas that are cramping my evolution as a guitar player. These areas are timing/rhythm and improvisation. I am not so worried about improving because the more lessons I learn, the greater my vocabulary of riffs and ideas: This leaves,
1) Timing and Rhythm
I learned how to read sheet music and score when I was in High School playing the saxaphone. I have pretty much forgotten everything I learned back then. What I recall though was playing the piece while keeping timing with the score.
I am having a HUGE problem with this while playing the guitar. I want to improve my timing and rhythm and what I have been doing is relying on guitar-pro tabs and following along with the score as the it plays the music.
This helps but I am hoping there are some other useful techniques or even lessons I can focus on. Particularly when it comes to placement and duration of notes while SOLOING. (I am OK when it comes to rhythm).
