This session is one of our Music Corner series with Jamie McCredie. Generally we run them weekly as one hour drop-ins delving into a broad range of subjects relating to technique, theory, know-how, practice or something topical in the guitar world.
This session covers looks at recording yourself. Is it worth it? How do you do it? And much more. Do we really think we’re playing that tune correctly as we’re actually playing it?
NOTE: unfortunately we’ve had to push this session back by a week because of new commitments for Jamie. The date is Tue 25 May.
Overview
In this session we ask, is recording ourselves really worth it and, if so, how do we do it correctly?
Why do it? Is it worth it? How do you do it? What do you listen out for? And much more. If you just play at home then let’s not delude ourselves that all is well. Play in front of an audience and we soon realise that there is still some work to do. Recording ourselves properly and critiquing it correctly are a huge help in improving our playing.
Music Corners in general
These weekly one hour sessions are designed to give us the tools to self-improve and widen our knowledge in the following general areas: rhythm, reading music, improvising, understanding music theory, getting good tone, how to play a solo, how to play with a group, how to develop your ear, learning the rules of music through transcribing the history of a genre. Our tutor, Jamie McCredie, will share key things he has learned over years that have helped to make him the professional guitarist and musician he is today.
