...and now my timing is all messed up.
Whenever I'm doing something where I can listen to music - homework, driving, playing games, etc. - I'll have some kind of music playing. A CD, my MP3s, concert DVD, whatever. And I can tap my foot, play my air bass, nod my head, or keep the beat/rhythm in some way or another, and between what I'm hearing and feeling, I'll be dead on with the song.
And then yesterday I picked up my bass & acoustic guitar to play along to some songs I learned a while back, and my timing was shot to hell. I could hear it, and I could feel it, but I just couldn't keep it in my hands.
Now, that, to me, is a pretty bad thing. Pity I left my metronome back home in Hong Kong, so I'll have to use some other time keeping device to practice with until I go back home in 2 weeks.
Until then, though, does anyone have any suggestions outside of practice-your-butt-off to get back into the swing of things?
