It’s good to spend some practice time each day working with a metronome, to develop precision and consistency in your timing. Not everyone has access to a metronome, however, so here are some basic “metronome” tracks that you can use to help develop your sense of timing. Start with the slowest track, (50bpm) and try to play the piece you have selected, either strumming chords or playing a melody, or doing your finger exercises. When you can do that, go to the next fastest track (60bpm) and so on. I have done them as a basic drum beat, with kick (bass drum) on beat 1 and snare on beat 3.
