It's both. The guitar and drum (or metronome) need to be playing at the same speed and same beat. The music determines the beat, the drummer plays the beat and the guitar follows the beat. Of course if you are playing the guitar alone without a drummer or metronome you need to count by taping your foot or nodding your head or whatever.

I would suggest that you do the Guitar Tricks Fundamentals 1 course. In the new Anders course, he fully covers that in Chapter 2.
