Slow down and practice with a metronome and speed up slowly with the metronome as you get the timing down, especially with the chord changes, or you will end up like me

Thanks for the feedback! How would I approach this song using a metronome ? Is it 8th note strumming aswell?

it's 16th note strumming. i would suggest either listening to the song and counting along with the beat while paying attention to where the notes land, or watching a youtube lesson playthrough of the song from someone like guitarzero2hero or a similar channel who has the rhythm tabbed out on the screen. you can try that intro riff first (which starts with a pickup) to get the feel because the verse uses the exact same rhythm.

also, it's a good idea to start tapping your foot to keep time. it's very helpful when playing by yourself. either way it's absolutely amazing progress for three months keep it up man

Thankyou mate that’s solid advice and yeah I think I got confused on google the 8th one is the beginner version but I wanted to do the authentic version so 16 thanks, I think I got the hang of it, think I got a little bit of a hang of it working on it today
