There are some much more accomplished musicians posting here than myself, and I 100% endorse their more studious/academic approaches. But, LISTEN, and play along with recordings of songs you want to play. I endorse using a metronome, but prefer to play along with recordings of bands (who often have click tracks in their ears or are playing with drum machines). I’m the adult supervision for the youth praise band at church and will play with songs on Spotify for hours to get “performance” ready. I’ve also been playing a lot of Jason Isbell and DBT songs on guitar (they’re really good, but also accessible), inspired in part by the Cooley/Hood/Isbell live album recently released. But, I’ve been gravitating to the versions of those recordings that I know (in part because they’re playing around with rhythms and solos on the live album). When you get really serious get a bass…or a drum kit…
