- In this video, I explain how important it is to watch and hear yourself play. Adding a day of recording yourself or taking video of yourself playing at least once a month will really make you play in a more uncomfortable state which will really help your playing. It also makes it very easy to spot areas that you can improve on! Do you ever record yourself? It's funny how the minute you hit record you start feeling a new layer of pressure. I hope this lesson makes you want to record yourself if you don't do it already.
Also, I have hundreds of lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: guitarcollegel...

Thanks for visiting my page!
One other advantage of recording for students - when you do actually get a song down pretty well itâs a big confidence boost to listen afterwards. Recently I used my loop pedal to jam over rhythm changes at a fairly high tempo, and while playing I felt frustrated and discouraged at how boring and badly played my improv seemed. Yet the recording is⊠very fun to listen to! I only made a few mistakes and I had a few nice melodic ideas between the cliches. But if I hadnât done the recording I would have only remembered the mistakes and frustration.
Thanks for your insight on this, Nicholas! I hope people read it and get inspired!
Thanks bud ww
When I record myself it is always better than I thought, timing is good no mistakes!! I canât believe it! Also I want to check out band in a box the other brand doesnât enough songs????
I loved that last piece of instruction about you not including your face in the video when you record. I guffawed at that one! Thanks again, Rich!
Haha, thanks for watching and commenting, Gregory!
There is one other thing. There have some times when our group is just cooking. And at the end I could just kick myself for not having it to listen to again. Sometimes I think I have played poorly and it sounds ok. And the reverse is also true. You canât always judge your tone as it sounds across the room. And how you sit in the mix. Am I too loud? Or is that damn keyboard player sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Tell you what, tape donât lie and it can be humbling. Thanks. Shally
These are such great points, Shally! It's a constant battle with what is going through your mind!
Hey would you buy a resprayed guitar?
It depends on what it is! Does it play good? As long as you are not expecting to resell it for a higher price or even lose money on it if you decide to sell. But if you like the way it feels when you play it, that is hard to deny no matter what finish is on it,.
