This is a valid tip for anyone out there who are beginning at guitar. Timing is very important. Here is a link to an online metronome to use while sitting around jamming near your PC.

Use it! You'll be glad you did.

i could probaby use one of those, my sense of timing alone is horrible... i had to listen to panama a million damn times before i finally got the timing

[MrSandMan]

Yeah, timing is a very underrated skill in learning guitar. In fact, bad timing is more of an issue as missing notes or messing up in a band presence. So for anyone starting to play guitar... use a metronome. You'll be glad you did when it's time to take it to the next level.

And you hit a good point also... some people are gifted with automatic timing skills and some are not. But not a correctable problem, just get out there and play-play-play!

I must say, my biggest weakness at playing any instrument is my timing....

This is a cool website none-the-less

very cool web site thanks. will come in handy......

and yes timing is the most important thing. if you can get timing down it will make just jumping in with other folks playing...
