I agree that practicing with drums, or a metronome, is a great rhythm exercise. I wouldn't say that every great guitarist practices with a metronome, though, because I heard Josh Smith say that he never used a metronome. I don't think a metronome is essential to fix poor timing, however fixing poor timing is essential, for good playing. Playing along with records is a good way to get a good feel for rhythm, possibly even better than a metronome, because nobody likes the sterile sound of perfectly quantized playing.

I am 51yo and have bought and started learning guitar a few times over my life but something always seemed to screw it up be it work or family life. But I have really got the bug this time and have all the time in the world so I bought a cheap Donner guitar and amp pack off Ebay for now as from what I understand they are a very well made budget guitar. I signed up to your course last night and as soon as my guitar arrives I am getting stuck in. I will save for an Ibanez RGR221PA AQB Gio as I love that guitar and that should see me through for a while. So thanks for giving me the kick in the ass I needed to get stuck back into it Tyler and you keep shreddin man.

Check out a guitar player called Jimi Hendrix. His timing was not metronomic. He did, however have a groove. Being very consistent in timing makes it easy for studios to piece together a final product. Staying in a groove, even if the tempo varies makes for a musically exciting performance. That is what a conductor in a symphony does, it keeps everyone on the same timing even as it varies. Being able to stay in time with a tempi is a necessary skill. Performance, particularly live performance, gets its energy from serving the music even if it means speeding up and slowing down. Hendrix is just one, a great one mind you, of many examples.

The most important thing in playing guitar or doing anything in life is to have fun because everyone’s a critic especially other guitarist. People can tell you a million ways that you did something wrong and they can recommend you a million different things that they think you should do that would make you sound better to them but what a lot of guitarist don’t realize is it’s not about them it’s about you and how playing the instrument makes you feel. You’re the one who bought the instrument so play it how you want to and do whatever you gotta do to make yourself happy while playing it. If that means that you want to shred then shred, if that means you want to go slow and melodic then go slow and melodic, it’s different strokes for different folks and people need to realize that and stop trying to force their taste on someone else and let them find their own style.

For young players. The first thing one might need is SUPPORT and encouragement from their family. If you can’t get a decent, playable instrument, and you can’t get lessons, and you can’t get they type of equipment one might need to learn (metronome/books/simple recording equipment or looping station) and finally it’s important to have a musical friend to help drive you to learn more, to push your boundaries. If one can’t get most of these things in the beginning, it’s gonna be much more difficult to learn or develop the main skills as you mentioned of Harmony, Melody, Rhythm and so fourth. One can drive themselves with a junk guitar that can’t be set up properly or intonated, with extreme high or low action, with no metronome, with minimal books. But it would take a TON of work. Really the same goes for an older beginner. Just have to support yourself or save and purchase your own gear. So many people are unable to ever even consider playing an instrument given the sheer cost of buying the instrument buying the lessons the toll it might take even on an older beginner on family time or school time… just a thought.

More starting out guitarists need to hear this. I lost count how I have gotten those people who cram in every note they can into a riff but lost timing, or melody, tell me I suck because I just use music theory to be my road map to where and what to play. As for technique, I do strongly say to anyone I have ever taught spend a practice session making noise on your guitar. You might discover a sound or thing you did that you might want to use in your song, like Nirvana's song "Milk it" or Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train" both songs have more going on to it than you realize if you really listen.

I've been playing for 16 years, self-taught (too poor for lessons), blessed (and cursed) with perfect pitch, and can carry myself decently in most situations. It feels like I've bypassed the important fundamentals and in a sense, cheated my way as a guitarist. Not to say I'm amazing and I could be so much better but it's like I shouldn't be as good as I am. Maybe at the age of 30, itd be a good time to sit with a teacher and show them what all I've taught myself and see what else i can pick up.
