sorry, your video won't play for me.

are you using any special pedals that delay or double your sound? are you using a wireless system?

if not, then it isn't your fault.

The timing is a bit off like you're not sure what you want to play because the tune is unfamiliar to you. But I think you are complaining of the room echoes.

If you played with the proper assurance and landed the little runs back to the next root with a little swing into the One it would be all good.

I changed title and try focus on other problems so can make bass better in mix .

You're rushing in places - for example, the second eighth note of the second beat at 0:15 and during the fills. You don't seem to be tapping your feet at all. Try that - it can really help a lot. For the mix, it sounds fine for a rehearsal space with no mics. Are you practising to a metronome and recording yourself? If not then I would suggest doing that.

Agree that you seem timid/uncertain at some points. The post above that recommended tapping your feet isn't bad, but I'd say really listening to the strummers will likely pay even more dividends.

The more sure you are in your own part, the more you can stop thinking about which notes you're playing and focus more on listening to the rest of the ensemble and how your notes fit with everything else.

It's not terrible, and I've definitely had worse first-takes of new covers with bands if I'm being honest. Seems like nothing a half hour of solid individual practicing and a few more full band run-throughs couldn't quickly overcome.

My $0.02...
Get rid of the charts.. LEARN the song.. yes, use charts while you are learning a song.. but you should be able to play the song from memory and NOT use charts.
To me that appears to be the biggest issue.. you're playing along to a chart...

I understand.. it's common.. It's what we usually call using a "crutch". You RELY on the charts because it helps, and in so doing, subconsciously avoid learning the song(s).
My last band built up a rolling-repertoire of about 140 "active" songs over 4 yrs - dropping many along the way. I would be expected to be able to play all on the active list.
Right now I've got about 32 songs I'm learning for what might be my new band.
I'm charting them out and will use the charts at rehearsals (OnSong on iPad) until I get comfortable with them.
I expect to be able to gig without the charts tho'!!
Not using charts FORCES you to learn the song, FEEL the music and sit in the pocket with the other musicians.

But to answer your original question.. I don't think you have a rhythm problem. You are using charts. You don't know the song.

Your rhythm has room to improve.

I does sound like you are unfamiliar with the tune. You are perhaps spending more effort reading than listening.
You should definitely be tapping your foot or bobbing your head or dancing - move your body to the beat

I would also listen to the back beat provided by the guitar player
One of them (not sure which) is very solidly hitting the 2 & 4 beat of most measures.
That' same role as a snare drum in most rock music, or the hi hat in jazz.
It's a very useful guide.

As for the mix: It sounds pretty good, the bass could go lower.
In a boomy room with echos, I would turn also down the bass EQ.

Nice tune, keep at it.

Without having a drummer, you've got LOTS of room to play, and fill in.

The accents are on 2 and 4 in this piece, so what I'd try, is to play a muted note (or even slap the strings lightly with you right hand) on the 1 and the 3, and play the roots of the chords on 2 and 4.

Doing this, accomplishes 2 things: you are filling in for a missing drummer and it locks you into the 1/4 note rhythm.

Excuse the crudeness of the notation - trying to write it on an iPhone!

 

[tfer]

When you get that under your fingers, try it with an 1/8th note push.

Once you get that down, you can vary between the two of them, and come up with simple rhythmic variations on your own.

But I guarantee, that you'll feel the beat.
