I have found Recording is one of the best ways to improve your playing


ABSOLUTELY 100% right on target.

Like singing, you can sing or play along with the radio and imagine you are as good as the artist on the record, but when it's just your singing and playing coming out of the speakers, man I'll tell you what, reality sets in might fast....and it's brutal at times. That's what makes karaoke so hilarious. You get folks who have sung along with their favorite songs and artists and suddenly, it's just them.....

Think you can sing, play or have good tone? Record it, listen to and and make adjustments, practice, develop your techniques accordingly. Recording is in your face honest. It doesn't lie. But it can also be your best friend towards improving your chops quickly.

Melodyne, not for it's ability to correct the issues, but for it's ability to SHOW you the issues, is one of the better tools for working on your vocals.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
