After 20 years playing rhythm, you may have to force yourself to loosen up a bit. The best leads often play 'around' the actual beat. This is why a solid rhythm section is the backbone of any good band. It allows the lead to be more creative, while the rhythm, bass and drums keep the song on track.

I can guarantee that you both will become better players.

Best of luck! :)
