I have a friend who has a lot of gear but doesn't have much time to play with them cause of work. I sometimes give tips to him and lately I've insisted him to work on his timing but he didn't as it too boring
So he goes to a bands house (he is friends with a big local shops sales guy, that guy has a band and they rented a house to live and practice) and all of them started jamming. The sales guy tells my friend to keep the rhythm as he wants to solo for a while.
My friend says after a short while he noticed everybody stopped playing and started to stare at him! a bit freaked, my friend asks whats going on and they say he couldn't keep a steady beat even for a little while!
After this incident he called me to ask advice, I said either start playing acoustic guitar to pop tracks (Em, Am etc. type chord stuff) or go outside and open a metronome and walk in the same beat as long as he could
Keep in mind this guy can jam in a beginner level and no one would suspect in that sense he can't hold a beat, this is also a reason he won't musically evolve even if he's just soloing if he can't take care of that issue.
