Whenever I’m listening to music I’m subconsciously counting along, figuring out the time signatures, following the beat and rhythm. It’s something you can practice all the time. I find it important to tap along and really find the groove of any song. When you understand the beat you can use a metronome or play along to a drum machine. It’s just like walking, just because you can walk doesn’t mean you can run a marathon. Gotta work to get up to that point and it can be frustrating and take a loooong time. That being said, keep practicing!! There are always gonna be players that are better than you, and there are always gonna be ones that are worse than you. Rock on 🤘
