What works for me is to wring out a tune arrangement, either old or
new, borrowed or made up ... recording all the parts and working on
what needs tweaking to satisfy my own creativity. I record to PC via
a small mixer and edit the results with Cool Edit 2K. Sometimes I
use a Pandora PX-2 direct to the mixer and sometimes I'll SM57 mic an
amp or two. In the long run, it doesn't matter much how you record
your playing, even a simple cassette is fine. The idea is to get
involved and to critique your own playing.
Next up is constructive, focused jamming with others. I
say "focused" because we all know how some jams can really get waaay
off track and deteriorate the playing and reasons why yer jamming in
the first place.
The worst thing you can do is constant, mindless, aimless, riffing.
YMMV. Rob.
A nice li'l setup I like lots -
