Great list Alex . One more that I would add:
Learn to read both score sheets and music. There is a strong possibility that you will present with either in a session. It also helps if you have a reasonable understanding of music theory and know your chords, keys, modes and inversions as, for example, you may well be asked touse a different chord voicing as a composer may have notated a piano chord for guitar. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

These are golden advices Alex, thanks for sharing them. One more to add:
* Being prepared for studio work is very important. Often a player will have to pull out all his tricks to play a piece, but if you come prepared, the level of stress is going down, and job goes more smoothly. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I've heard about a lot of guitarists 'phoning in their part' as in they get emailed a backing and record their part on their home studio set up, then send the stem back to the producer.
Apparently using this approach, you can get top guys like Brent Mason to play on your album at a very reasonable rate. -------------------- My SoundCloud

You are absolutely right!!! It happens a lot when you have to read music! There is just too many things to talk about!!! True but most of the time you have no idea what work you will have to do! It's rare that you are getting music before session most likely you will have to work on the spot Yes, this is true my friend. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
