I'm listening to it. Yes, it's not quite on the beat all the time. I've no answer to it. You wouldn't be the first person to have a problem with strict rhythm. Sorry, I wish I had a solution.

You can't learn to swing - you have to be born with it.

Thanks Kris, thats what I wanted to hear right now, perfect confirmation bias so Ima quit trying to swing and become a swinger... lets see if I get more busy that way LOL
Now that you guys mentioned singing... total game changer for me, actually for players like me coming from rock, blues and in my case some classical and flamenco background, we use Jazz as a way to practice what we never practiced before, mainly ear training and time feel...which should not be the way but Im a miserable ignorant from the north of Spain and I started playing in the mid 90s reading books all day, it was ok cause I used to be an amazing reader, my dad is a musician so I had no choice but I never ever focus on singing, transcribing, ear training in general and the whole time/swing feel, groove, pocket thing till I started researching stuff about how to learn Jazz in a proper kinda old school way and then voila, I dont care I cant play straight ahead never ever in my life but Ima keep using all the Jazz oriented ways of practice and tunes like all the things you are, blue bossa, oleo, all of me, corcovado, etc... as sort of templates to expand my chord and chord tones vocabulary for ever, hope this make sense and you guys know what I mean, again, it should be like this but for whatever reason study Jazz forces to focus on some musicianship skills that in other genres might be overlooked...even classical! but everything depends on your teachers and you research tho, much more good info there days than in 95... well thats actually not 100% true cause I remember the first guitar player mag I got had a Jim Hall interview and talked about transcribing piano and horn players...I was like...nah forget it, Ima try to learn some ACDC riffs
I remember my dad got a Jazz CD colletion and I was like... who are this weird people? Charlie Parker, Herbie... Keith Jarret... sounds weird and there no guitar here... now I listen to Keith or Parker more than to any other guitar player... yes Im getting old and miserable LOL
I still love ACDC tho, thanks John A for mention Aebersold backing tracks, I just downloaded a free package from his site and they do feel great, same thing about drumgenius, just downloaded a couple of their loops and they do groove like crazy, I got some nice ones in Logic Pro too so Ima stick with what I got loop wise and focus on playing along with live recordings with great drummers to balance a bit and metronome wise Ima stick with just ANDS for a while as seems the hardest for me... so time to feel the ands like Barry.
