This advice is SOOOOO ACCURATE! I speak from experience (having recorded clips for assignments for Berklee). And the "freeze" factor has to be taken into account (LOL). And one thing u forgot to say Mark is that when ur recording a clip, the mistake will always happen in the last bar hahah. It sometimes took me 25-30 takes to get it 100% right before submission so what you say also leads to more practice as well. Great clip Mark. You make a very wise point. Thank you.
Ah! So true -- liking I'm thinking "Here we go, we're 90% of the way there. Don't mess this up ..." then boom, fingering issues in the last bar! I agree. lol
Great direct advice. It is tough to record a work in progress with a single take. I end up doing "n" takes and even applying some short patches. This is probably not the best strategy but the repeated "n" takes does help lock in the tougher passages. Merci.
hmmm , cant say that I agree on this one .yes that recording yourself to hear what you are doing is a great tool, but "" the only way "' ??? i would say playing is a good a way ...sometimes within the parameters of ....lets say theory ....and sometimes with no care what notes but learning to leave space and trying to create rythms ( melodies ) ..........i base this on my belief that one way is great for one and a different way for another .....myself i try to use many ways ..eg listening ....playing .....transcribing ..... writing / creating ....playing with others ...jamming to records - youtube lessons and a top one - playing gigs ( gigs will put you to the test ) .....ps - keep up the good work , you help me be inspired to play more .thanks
Thanks Steve -- I see what you mean on this! And all agreed :) "Only way" is a perhaps just an exaggeration. I really meant that players, as they get better, develop better perspective and intuition on their own chops. And this can be achieved by taking a step back, and objectively listening.
Oh yes ... it's hard for sure. I sugarcoat this, in a way, by not mentioning it in the video. But hearing myself, on my end, is sometimes plainly repulsive. Like "yuk, what was I thinking?"
Never ever thought about it but now I am going to record just to hear what my wife puts up with. Thanks Mark.
Aha! Well put Stuart.

Yes - agree - the last few bars. Funny.

Absolutely Jerry - using the objective perspective of listening is great because it informs the "n+1" take.
I don't want to do this but I guess you're right so I'll have to.
Thanks for tuning in! :)
Helemaal gelijk: vol in de roos! Maar confronterend tegelijk ;)
Absolutely true story. No doubt.
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Can you let me know what the cost would be to get involved ?
Cool
nice👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I even hate listening to myself through my loop pedal 😫

Record yourself but the main message is "buy lessons from me."
