One thing I’ve been concentrating a lot is studying timing. Learning how to play along with a metronome. Mastering rhythm with whole notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets, etc.

When you play acoustic solo, it is okay to play songs without a metronome, but when you want to play in a band, you need to learn this stuff. This stuff is simple to learn, but the tough part is practicing with the metronome.

I’m getting the hang of this stuff too. I want to get better at timing music.

This is one thing that a lot of musicians fail to learn, especially some bands out there. I’ve seen plenty of bands that don’t play in time at all. If you want to play tight and aggressive in a band, timing is key to a killer performance.
