Well, the best advice I can give you is that you should be working on your ear.

This means transcribing. It means using the functional ear trainer (download it from miles.be). It means practicing transcribing rhythms. I suspect you're struggling so much because you're simply not attuned to hearing rhythms precisely.

Simple stuff like playing a scale in time with a metronome, then cutting the metronome in half - but playing at the same speed, so that now you get a click every other note. Once you get that down, cut the metronome again - one note in four it gives you a click. Getting this stuff down really tight - so that the click of your pick on the string obscures the sound of the metronome - will make a huge difference.
