[DISCUSSION] If you struggle with timing , don’t forget to focus on breathing and relaxing!

Ive played guitar for years but my timings been god awful no matter how much I played with a metronome or “practiced”. Even trying to count out the beats didn’t help. It sucked as it’s my biggest passion and eventually just got too discouraged and gave up.

Turns out, I just I really tense my entire body / breathe shallowly when I do anything. My posture, jaw, tongue, and hand tension were the worst offenders.

Focusing on relaxing everything all loosy goosy while playing to a metronome w/ a controlled exhale has basically broken the wall I’ve been hitting my head against for years.

Hope this helps someone who also felt they were hopeless, lol.
