Ray,
this may sound over simplistic, but what I have fond
to be very effective is this: when you are not playing
with a drummer or another musician where time is et
down -- use a Metronome -- yes, whenever you play,
pratice, etc. whereno other musician is playing ...
use a Metronome ..
...my timing usially went off the wall whevever I was
not playing with a band until I established the
metronomme rule w/myself ... after 37 years I still
use it ... yes, the same metronome is about 35 years
old ... the one that has the silencer on the back
where you get a blinking light if you are recording
and don't want the clicking sound ...
...it's indispensable for me....

Wow, that reminds me of the old, plastic, windup Seth Thomas I STILL have
(but don't use much anymore). No little blinking light on THAT one! LOL
