Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

[TalismanRich]

I couldn't believe how Hansen pulled off 1983 live. That side from Electric Ladyland is my favorite Hendrix album.



It reminded me of when Stevie Ray pulled off 3rd Stone from the Sun at El Macambo. Simply great!

Noooooo shit, lol.

Worse still is when you're playing pretty well, but you make a small mistake in a take so you stop, delete, and start over... and then suddenly you do the exact same thing on 20 takes within the first 30 seconds because you've gotten inside your own head and can't play something that should be doable for you. does anyone else do this or am I just that special?

You have to learn to not stop when you make a mistake. Play through the whole track even if you tank a section. It’s often easier to punch in the fix.
