I have the same question. I have been using a metronome for everything for quite a while and it still seems like I am not where I should be with my internal clock especially when playing more complicated songs with ghost notes, sixteenth notes mixed in with eight notes, etc. which is common fare in any song. I just keep plugging along tapping my foot with the beat and hoping it all clicks in at some point. It’s gotten better but man it just ain’t good enough yet.
Long Live Rock!
