Any given lesson showing you how to play some music (melodies or chords) is a lesson that you can use to improve your timing.

[quote=ericstamp] One of the sections gets into rhythm and the instructor covers topics like playing triplets in a blues context. You are supposed to play along to the backing track, but I felt like I must have fast forwarded past some critical lessons. DId I miss something?

What lesson are you referring to? Maybe this one?

In general, each lesson in the Core Learning System builds on the next. But at any given stage in the process you are going to be introduced to a new idea or have to play something brand new.

In this case, you've already learned to play an A, D & E power chord. You've learned to switch chords & play chord progressions. The new element here is the triplet swing pattern. It might take time to learn any given new concept or skill. So be patient with yourself!

In the learning process everyone hits "the wall" at some point. Different places for different individuals. :) But the same thing needs to happen for everyone. You get to something that's really tricky & you have to dig in & take all the time necessary to learn that new thing.

Hope this helps! Please ask more if necessary & best of success!
