I am having real trouble counting out loud while playing. I am capable of either counting in time(ish) or playing but apparently not both at the same time.
I can count out loud and play if I only say the beats on which I hit the strings .e.g 1 - 2 & - & 4 - for the most popular strum. However, as soon as I start counting the full 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & I end up hitting strings on beats when I shouldn't which throws the whole thing off into either a jumble or just a constant set of eighth notes.
I did ok on BBG but I must admit to not counting out loud much. I knew this was a weak spot so bought SRM but didn't fully appreciate how weak it was
