I would say, work until you feel comfortable, but not too comfortable, with counting out loud and clapping to the metronome. Then play some guitar. Switching back and forth, and progressively increasing the difficulty will allow you to continue to grow in this skill. Start with 15 minutes per practice session of dedicated rhythm practice, then fine tune it to work for you. | |

| Feb 5, 2018 at 19:03 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | Not bad advice. I teach my guitar students that one way to isolate rhythm work is to mute the guitar strings with the fretting hand and play the rhythms with their picking hand.. Also, this answer leaves out the importance of counting out loud, which in my experience cannot be overstated. | |
