Hey all, as the title says been having some trouble re-learning rhythm. Little background, I grew up playing instruments as a kid up until High School so I’m a little far removed now from those experiences (8 years maybe). I get maybe since I was a kid and was in band it was easier, I played clarinet and some cello, but could sight read many songs and was confident in most pieces (not flexing, just reminiscing on the good times). Now, I just suck and can’t even tap my foot on beat for the sake of my life.
I’ve currently been teaching myself guitar for about 2-3 years on off, but realized that despite knowing chords, finger picking patterns, and songs, I quite literally cannot play on beat with a metronome. Just wondering if anyone had any advice or tips on how to re-learn it. I have definitely watched some videos, but wanted to reach out to see what worked for others.
