I'm waiting for the day when everyone decides to mute themselves and mime and suddenly there's just drums and a dodgy vocal.
The first one is usually a bit sloppy playing and timing-wise. Second one you've got your groove on. Plus it's really hard to start playing and looping at exactly the right moment - there's always a stutter or awkward moment when the loop joins. Also keep playing for a moment after you've switched the loop to playback, it helps blend the join.
So yeah - to address a recent comment - metronome is unmusical, but again you have to embrace the challenge and be able to play with swing and groove even to a 2-4 metronome. This makes playing to a proper drum beat, with more subdivision beats, super easy. So for me, it's definitely worth the challenge.
Finally, I started using Tomo's DVD's accelerate your guitar playing. I have bought it quite some time ago, but I hardly used it because it would take you 2 steps back in order to leapfrog from there. Anyway, there is a cool excercise where you set the metronome to 2 and 4, quite slow, and then go through a pattern of full / half / quarter / eight notes plus triplets. Again - painful, but super helpful and rewarding in the long run.

You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

I sounded shite. Buzzy strings...poor timing...hearing notes that maybe shouldn't be there....I'll stop there! In my mind I always thought that my chord playing technique more than made up for my limited knowledge of scales. Now I know that I can bang out the chords of my fave songs......only not as well or as nicely as I thought I could.
