Again you continue to hit on stuff I am working on with my instructor. I have not had time to spend with each of the last lessons you have posted, but they continue to track in an almost freakish way. LOL! I have been working on TEFview rhythm lessons from my instructor, including various combos of 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 notes, triplets, etc. This will help, as it always helps to come at it a different way, and I can do this in the car. with the metronome in my iPhone, and while listening to music. With these lessons I am finally developing a foot tap, whereas I relied on my head before. This lesson give me something to do when I drive or whatever to re-inforce it. Thanks again.

Thanks guys!

Rhythm (and my internal clock) are things that I have fought with since I've picked up the guitar...you can never spend too much time working working on it.

Working on rhythm away from the guitar is also a great idea. One of my students showed me his iPhone metronome and he does the same thing in the car :D
