Rhythmic tips

[SpiderVenom]

To cut a long story short, my sense of rhythm sucks bad

Mechanically, I do really well... but keeping perfect time to a metronome is something I only dream about. I've practiced at this a lot, too, but I just don't seem to get it.

Basically, all and any tips for developing rhythmic sense would be appreciated.

(one thing that I do know is the obvious one - playing along to recordings - in particular I play along to the songs in the Troy Stetina books I have; that works, until the lead guitar kicks in. It's louder, and immediately kills my sense of rhythm)

Start with very slow tempos and work your way up. Also, we use to use a drum book and clap the rhythm's out when I was in school, good practice.
