For me, it's a great way to test the way that you'd play if an audience were present.
As soon as I hit the Record button, I get a little bit of the nerves that an audience gives me.
Aside from that, it's a brilliant way to listen to yourself with the critical ear that a teacher might provide you with.
For example, I recorded myself trying to play Doc Gussow's 'Not A Shuffle Blues'. It was only when I listened to the recording that I realised how much silence I'd left between the chords that punctuate the piece and the melody lines lines between them.

JS, I wouldn't say that. I still stand by that vote I cast in your direction. Recording yourself is always a good way to see how you're doing and work on it.

Record myself? Why would I want to hurt my own feelings when there are so many just waiting for a chance?
No, not yet, Need to start doing it.

jon & djm, recording yourself for the purpose of making a collection of nice songs is one objective, another, perhaps more important, is recording yourself for the purpose of figuring out how you sound from a listeners perspective. Recording yourself is perhaps one of the most important parts of woodshedding i.m.o.
You might be surprised when you notice that something you thought sounded good, isn't really that good and something you might have considered a mistake, is actually sounding really cool.
You'll be surprised when you listen to something you recorded 1 or 2 weeks ago and then you take a listen to it again, it's like you're hearing somebody else's recording (that's how it sounds to me anyway) and it becomes a lot more easy to become critical about it, or feel good about it....
Recording yourself for the purpose of improvement is a great tool, you can't start early enough...
Believe me, there is no better rush (that can be mentioned here at the forum) then when you hear yourself and and it sounds good, no matter how short it is..... Go For It Sparrow! Spread your Wings!

I am going to start recording myself. But I am playing back Sonny Boy II and pretending it was me.
I agree with you. I need to get more disciplined all around. Practice daily especially. Silly, but I have this one min dachshund who hangs out with me. When i play, she howls. I play soft, she howls soft. Loud, she howls loud. I pu ther in anothe room, she howls. Maybe I do need a woodshed.
