Dude, just write one big message at a time.

The best way to get your timing is practicing SLOWLY with a metronome. There is no other way. Create a practice schedule and stick to it. I have a warm-up of 1 hour of playing scales, arpeggios, and chords, starting at ~100 bpm then working from quarter to sixteenth and building up to ~160.

This creates a improvement within a week.

ok, i'll try. i do ply alot, a day doesn't go past with out me ply guitar and composing, it's just when i listern 2 music i feel like it's fake, i don't no if u no wot i mean, it just seems 2 me that it is impossiable 4 a human 2 ply so perfectly. i always thought there was sumthin in studio's which they use 2 perfect time.

[SRVFan2005]

No, you just don't grasp the capabilities of guitar yet.

You may be practicing totally wrong.

[Phototropic]

You need to practise more, music has to be in time, maybe not PERFECT, theres leeway here and there for a bit of swing etc, but if everyone played out of time music would sound crappy

Just take peoples advice and stop arguing

hahahahahaha..you guys put a smile on my face.. (namely you Ollie) that was the funny **** post I have ever read..but ya...I agree with everything said here..and that dude's warm up routine sounds like a good one to me, use a metronome...even if you use it for a month and then quit..your timing will have improved..remember..start slow on the tempo...(slow is harder..but it develops your time more) then progress to fast one's..you'll be able to understand how they play like that..though it's not really perfect...quite the opposite actually becaues in many looping programs you find and drum machines..they have a humanizer effect that skews the timing by very small amounts..and while 7/1000's of a second is very small..it is achieveable...(even you could do it) and furthermore..it isn't perfect

what is aim and wot does psh mean

aim=instant messanger by aol...you might wanna look into it its pretty widely known. as far as psh I dont know I think it was just to get your attention like pssst! you know when you wanna get someones attention in class or somthing? maybe you dont know.

[Camel42]

Yo; To get perfect time...

...Play with a drum machine set at 120 bpm, and playing the exact same rhythm loop over, and over again. Play everything in all down strokes. Strum on every down beat. Do this for a few hours a day.

Eventually, when your not by a clock, you will always be able to tell exactly what time of the day it is. At that point in time you will have perfect time musically. This is why it needs to be set at 120 bpm, because 120 bpm = 60 seconds.

thanks for every one's messages and i use msn not aim. lol

if your timing is as bad as your knowledge of... anything... well anything to do with the internet, computers, communication and such like, i'd quit now.

[Guitar Legend Ollie]

Har har mate! i'v owned a guitar since i was 5 years old and been playing since i was 11 there's no chance on earth, heaven or hell i'm going to quite. lol

[Phototropic]

You may as well

If you're asking bout timing issues after 'playing' a guitar for 5 years, you must be incredibly ****in' **** :)

Practise with a metronome like everybody else said

(Why the name 'Guitar legend Ollie, you can't be much of a legend if you can't keep time ;) )

[bighambino]

Hate to say it, but you probably just don't have rhythm. I've got friends who have stopped playing guitar because they'll never have it. If you've been playing for five years, I'd say give it a rest.

ok, ok, some haurtful things have been send and my timing isn't as bad as u've all made out it 2 be, i was more intrested in "if there was any software, that just run's through a sound wave and corrects it in any way" but...i was going 2 show you lot some of my songs that i recorded but some said it before and there right i can't use my p.c. so i have no idea how 2 put it on 1 of them sites, i normaly just send my songs to my mates over msn.

[fuh-ck]

practice your english you moron

[LivingDeadBoy]

add me: dimitri . farkov @ gmail.com

and send me some songs, ill be able to tell u whether u got a sense of rhythm or not.

[Jovianknight]

It seems so many people have trouble with timing. I must be blessed in some way, because I've never had any problem with timing whatsoever. Problem with consistent guitar playing however, that's another story...

Best starting at 60bpm. The you have it on every second and then slowly moving it up!
