When you listen to music there is an underlining pulse we call the beat. It's what you naturally tap to.
However, when playing music, lots of people are focusing on the next note rather than timing it and keeping both hands in sync. Say the music is in 4/4 times, slow it down for starting off and count out loud, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Work along side a metronome and tapping your foot can help. Wait till your got the timing down before you play. You can start by just practicing notes on one string and then moving to power chords. Whole note - hold this for all 4 beats. (count as 1 . . . ) Half notes - hold for 2 beats. (count as 1 . 3 . ) Quarter note - 1 beat. (count as 1, 2, 3, 4) Eighth notes - two per beat (count as 1 eh, 2 eh, 3 eh, 4 eh) Sixteenth notes - four per beat (count as 1 eh an ah, 2 eh an ah, 3 eh an ah, 4 eh an ah) Quietly count inbetween. The 'eh an ah' (after the number count spoken) is for good timing, just don't rush the count or get inbetween. When the speed gets up, your'll still count but probably remove the inbetween 'eh an ah' as the timing will still match after practice. You can loop practice with anything you like, here's a basic example (with half, quarter and whole notes): E ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| B ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| G ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| D ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| A --2----~------2----2--|--5-----------7--------|--2----2------2----2--|--5----7-----------5--| E --0------------0----0--|--7-----------5--------|--0----0------0----0--|--7----5-----------7--| (Beat count 4/4) --- 1 --- 2 ---- 3 --- 4 --- 1 --- 2 ---- 3 --- 4 --- 1 --- 2 --- 3 --- 4 --- 1 --- 2 --- 3 --- 4 -- E ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| B ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| G ------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| D --9--------------------|--5-------------~------|------------------------|--5-------------7------| A --7--------------------|--3---------------------|--5-----------7--------|--7-------------5------| E --0--------------------|-------------------------|--7-----------5--------|------------------------| Sometimes you might see a rest, which looks kinda like ~ (spos to be on it's side). Pad the strings with you fretboard hand and stop them ringing out for that count.
