Thanks for the tips and the encouragement! Makes sense about plugging in, I should (and shall) do it more often…trying to get in sync was why I slowed it down. But the play through was cold, I should have played for a while and then recorded after I’d warmed up.
Playing with the metronome feels really mechanical and unnatural, until all of a sudden it clicks and suddenly it feels effortless and musical. You’re doing a great job of putting in the work. It will definitely pay off.

Still trying. here’s my latest rendition @ 100bpm still. Better, I think? But not good… https://youtu.be/73Jh8GVljsk
Up to @105bpm and feeling the timing better. Satisfaction @105bpm
Coming along Scott.
My advice. You’re tilting your guitar so that you can watch your fretting fingers. Bad habit. When you come to learning barre chords this position will make things difficult. Get the guitar into a more vertical position and train yourself to only look occasionally at your fingers. Of course when learning you need to look at your fingers but try to minimise it and be aware that it’s habit to get out of.
Thanks. I think it’s the seat and recording position. I did notice when I watched back, it seemed extreme. I wasn’t aware I was doing that - so thanks!
