Listen to yourself is a great exercise to check if you're doing things right. I absolutly recommend to record yourself doing some exercise or lesson you're working on and listen if it's full clean and without mistakes

Well, I can listen to myself for enjoyment - but only if some time passed since I record the song.... When I'm into composing/recording I'm very critical (which in fact is bad, since I refuse takes that has a lot of emotion but some small mistakes), and I listen back to every single note as well as timing, sound and other issues. When Im done I usually got tired of the song, and dont listen to it for weeks/months. However, I use to be pretty satisfied after some years or so. (cause then I got the excuse, "Oh well, that was not SO bad, for playing that a loooong time ago...
 )But I also think that every musician does small mistakes, and beeing too self-critical is bad for the creative process. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I occasionally play my bands album and really enjoy listening to it. I also often listen to the new songs - both for enjoyment and to have an idea what could be done to make the song better etc... I am also forced to listen to some of the songs on radio and where I stumble on them- I don't mind it of course

there's something about listening to your own stuff,
I guess it's got to do with the ego, but hell, it feels good, I'm not good at all to criticize myself, I need someone to listen and tell me, because I can rationalize everything and come up with excuses to leave everything intact, when there are plenty of other better to make a song -------------------- Visit my:

I have a CD in the car and I listen often. Helps to know the song inside out and to find out what can be changed in the mix.

If you want to work on your skills, recording yourself and checking your own stuff is great, like this you can spot your own flaws, work on them and hear your improvement. About listening to my own albums... well, in the moment I am listening to the new one a lot, playing along, preparing myself for the upcoming rehearsals for our tour, but once we start touring none of us listens to our own cd's. Not because we don't like them (we love them
 ) but if you play that stuff on stage every single day for the next 18 months then you don't really feel like listening to the very same songs late at night in the hotel

I don't tend to record and listen to myself playing guitar much due to lack of time. What I do much more of is listen back to masters I've done and critically compare them against others. In many ways this is the same - critically listen to and evaluate what you do and so try and learn by it

I listen all the time, over and over and over...
I try to be very critical all the time, that way it can be useful. -------------------- |
