Better. Because it's faster

If I go to the teacher and ask to teach me how to improvise, I would not feel I got my money's worth if they tell me "just play whatever you want". I'd like to know what I'm doing with the guitar, and studying music theory is the easiest way to go about that. You need to get yourself inside the box before you can get out of it.

10ms thing is the consequence of me trying to make the stuff I play sound good. Right now, this is not the case for me, and I feel my sloppy rhythm is a contributing factor.

It sounds like half a dozen newborn deer on the pavement trying to walk

Sure, not that relevant to my question though

I get what you're saying, but there's no song in question. Otherwise, good stuff, thank you

Why 65 bpm specifically? Why not start with 100-120 and go down in tempo, I think it woukd be easier this way

I thought about it, but the inconsistency on display betrays sloppy timing anyway

 

I cannot play on time. Not in terms of missing beats, or losing the click in the middle of a song, but in that my timing is almost always off. I compared my played notes to the click in the DAW, and I'm usually rushing, sometimes by 30-40ms. I remember Adam Neely said once that 10ms is barely acceptable, so yeah.

I tried dividing the distance between clicks in my head, doubling the metronome tempo, moving with the beat, consciously conpensating for the rush, nothing helped. Therefore, my questions - how's your timing doing? What can I do to improve mine?

Good stuff. I'm bashing my head against the wall of a Children of Bodom song myself now

Schecter Blackjack A-6 and some kind of a MIJ Jazz Bass.

Do you use thicker strings for it, or deal with lower tension?

 

Not sure if I accomplished anything in terms of advancing the skill, but I sure got tired.
