I suck with a metronome

[MrScratch]

I have one. i used it for quite a while but then realized it was broken as it could never keep time with me properly.

The way I play, a metronome would be worthless

When you get good with the metronome, try muting it for a measure and see if you can come in tight again

All you can do is practice, practice and practice. Start using really low tempo like 60bpm and work your way up in steps of 5. I know a lot will probably comment that's too low to start with, but that's a first hand recommendation from Guthrie Govan himself. Like he said: it's harder keeping a steady low tempo than a higher one.
