Sure, people don't do well under pressure usually, and it is perfectly normal not to perform as good as when you practiced or played without recording. What you can do is exercise the part until you really feel comfortable with the part - go up the tempo by 20-30bpms and then it will be a lot easier. Also what I sometimes do is record several takes at once (I loop the backing), and choose the best one.

It's the button man! We all go through it, you just have to keep pushing to the point you just play, not concentrating on the recording itself.

The pressure builds up because you know you don't have it 100% in your fingers.

Yeah... I have the concentrate my ass off to get a sweep clean aswell as try to get my shreds to sound decent in a recording, and it overall affects my performance. If I knew I could do shreds and sweeps with my hands behind my eyes like the pros, it wouldn't be hard to record anything. But even then mistakes happen, so experience with recording is the key as well. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

As everyone said, practice the part you wish to record and also practice recording yourself (playing all the different things) as much as you can. Recording experience will build up and after some time you won't consider recording "big deal" and you will be relaxed. Also try clearing your mind just before recording, take a deep breath , relax your body and concentrate on playing what is on the hand and not thinking about recording , on which part you are going to make a mistake etc... Try doing it , it may seem a little bit weird at start but it works.

I also think that recording yourself as often as possible will help you a lot. First of all you kinda get used to this situation and you won't be as nervous anymore after some time, and when you record yourself it is much easier to elimitate flaws or mistakes, cause a good recording is very honest... brutally honest sometimes, you really hear your flaws, sometimes, when we just play and we enjoy it, we don't really realize our mistakes, so recording definitely is a good thing. I also like this method or practicing something in a higher speed, so when you go back to normal things get easier and more comfortable. And another thing, try not to panic when you are recorded, try to eliminate this thought of "oh god, I am being recorded, I have to be great and 100% perfect now", you can always do another take, also the best players in the world might need a couple of takes to nail something on tape (or hard disc )
