My band recorded a song live on Sunday, and in listening back I've found that even after 7 years, my ability to play without slightly speeding up or slowing down is just so-so. I can play to a click or other reference point just fine, but when it's up to me, I can't be trusted to keep great time on my own. I listened to Journey's "I'll Be Alright Without You" earlier today and I just can't believe Steve's time is so good with no click!
My question is, what, or rather how do you practice to internalize a strong sense of time and tempos? How do you get that rock-steady Steve Smith/Gadd/Jordan internal clock?
I don't mean for this to be a show off of my playing, I only played 2 or 3 fills on the whole 5 minute track, but if you'd like to hear what I'm talking about, I'll upload.
Thanks,
Nerflad.
