I have been playing for 8 years with no lessons and I'm having trouble really setting a deep pocket. This became evident when I video taped myself playing a long to a Michael Jackson song (Don't laugh please). I had decent groove in the beginning but about halfway through, I lost significant feel of the song. Am I overplaying?
I use a metronome once in awhile when practicing but sometimes I just find it boring. I guess I just prefer to play along to songs and add my own chops into it.
So I guess I am just looking for advice on how to develop a good solid feel for the song and working on my pocket.
