Facing problems when practicing with a metronome and backing track is a common challenge. Here are some of my suggestions to help you overcome this problem:


1. Breaking down the Music Parts:


Instead of trying to play the entire song, break it down into small parts and focus on practicing one part at a time.


2. Reduce Speed:


Start at a slower pace. Once you comfortably settle into the rhythm, gradually increase the speed.


3. Using Metronome at Low Speed:


Start at a low speed on the metronome and gradually increase as you feel comfortable.


4. Play along with the Original Guitar:


Try playing along to the original music or the singer's recording to get a feel for the musical structure and rhythm.


5. Pay Attention to Off-Beats:


Focus on listening to off-beats to stay steady in the beat.


6. Practice Listening to Accompaniment Music:


Listen to the accompaniment regularly to familiarize yourself with the structure and rhythm of the song.


7. Play With Recording:


If possible, play along with the recording for support from the original music.


8. Accept Mistakes:


Sometimes accepting mistakes is important to progress. Keep practicing and correcting mistakes over time.
