I never do the cut and paste thing, if I'm recording a rhythm guitar part I play it through from start to finish. Doesn't take that long, most of our songs are 4 minutes or less.

For solos, if I record one I don't like I'll just record over top of it until I get one I do like. I don't believe in recording multiple solos and then cutting and pasting the best bits from each to build a solo, although I guess that is done quite a bit.

My one exception, if I record a solo that I really liked and had good "feel" but I muffed a note, I have no problem with punching in a good note. But even SRV did that on occasion smile
