This.
Absolutely this. And only once you can play it cleanly at a slow tempo should you speed it up. |

Problem is, I’m either listening to the guitar or the metronome.

Remember to breathe. Then move your body to the beat.

Treat mistakes as opportunities. Often, what you have played « wrong » can sound fantastic in another context... just find that context :-)

Practice and play for fun with your eyes closed, and learn to feel and listen your way around the guitar, your playing technique, and the song you are playing.

The most useful input came from someone who said he didn’t like my playing because I slowed the tempo at times. I'd been unconsciously slowing down just a little during the more difficult parts of whatever I was playing.
The most effective piece of advice came from someone who said my right-hand fingers should sort of brush up against each other when playing arpeggios. I’d been unconsciously spreading them.

When practicing-practice the rough spots
When recording-breathe through your mouth. I learned both here on the AGF.

“ You’re not good enough to be a professional. Let it be your hobby and you will get more enjoyment.”
He, the PhD in music with a million dollar violin told me the struggles he had as a lifelong classical player. Excellent advice.

Yeah, breathing is huge. And sing your scales as you play them. And get comfortable with a metronome... if it feels uncomfortable to play with one, do it until it is comfortable (I’m not all the way there yet, but close. And it has helped so much)
