 It happened to me as well and I tend to do the exact same thing as you Ben  |

I work on minimizing this "feature" a lot, but still have this problems with complex rythms..
Practice, practice, practice... |

Mainly that it sucks
Flashes of great musical ideas that I fail to finish off, either because of technique or lack of knowledge (I can start to minimise that latter, if composing rather than improvising). A lack of variety in my phrasing (mixing up rhythms and note durations) as well as the length of phrases (though this is starting to improve) -------------------- My SoundCloud

Ben you weren't sitting with me when I was working on the Modern Pop Collab! Recording is such a humbler. I must record more!

For me, I play live frequently shows and strive to improve there. I have done studio sessions, and many more soon to come.... but I feel like that goes pretty well, and I leave the "recording" to the "recording guys" and just focus on my playing.
When I look back at EMULATOR shows, I feel like I occasionally "rush" the tempo unknowingly. Luckily, our drummer is a champ (he has his own signature model Vic Firth stick!) and he can hold it down regardless. But I've improved that by relaxing and LISTENING to the music around me more. That is HUGE!! I was told that about using a metronome... "Gabe, you need to start using a metronome. You have pretty good natural timing, but a metronome will teach you to LISTEN more. For example...." Best advice ever. --------------------   Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

I also suffer from this "need" to re-record my first takes. My problem is not even timing, I just play better when I am doubling myself, I guess it has to do with how the song feels to me. When I record my first rhythm guitar there are no other guitars there yet, so everything feels kinda empty to me, so even if I might nail the timing and everything perfectly fine, my feel and interpretation most likely will not be as strong as when I am recording a second take, doubling the first one. That's why I re-record my first takes mostly, works fine for me.

Jamming with other musicians is awesome and you can learn a lot from this :-)
