I know that this is a bit of an unorthodox question, but i am in a metal band and i am one of two guitarists....i'm just wondering if any of you out there have any special methods or exercises to improve your overall rhythm and timing....(other than learning/transcribing covers)

Practice with a metronome or with a drum machine, which is more fun.

ALWAYS Practice with a metrenome.

Practice while looking in the mirror. This will help u to synch up ur headbanging w/ ur palm mutting.

Well metronome or as Marin says drum machine, best is jamming with a good drummer.

Ditto

I didn't think guys in metal bands cared about timing and/theory.

joking...

Metronome is great.

Timing is probably most crucial in metal.

The metronome is very good. Spend some time every day playing to a metronome or drum beat and you'll start improving.

You don't even need your guitar to develop a sense of rhythm. Try tapping a pen on the desk to the metronome beat
