    Have you tried playing with the dreaded metronome? As much as folks hate it (myself included), it -does- work. Something you can try: Start with one chord, start the metronome at a reasonable tempo (say 60 bpm or so) and just do one down strum per click. Nice and easy. When you’re comfortable with this, try speeding up the tempo, or try doing a down strum and up strum on one tick. You might have to slow down the tempo before you feel comfortable doing this. After a while, you’ll find yourself speeding up the tempo to make the exercise more challenging. Your ultimate goal (one of them anyway), is to develop the ability to “count” the beat in your head, regardless of the tempo. Hope this helps 😺
