" Not everyone understands the difference between musician and a musician to play live. Sometimes I wonder "why (and add here the name is) does not play on their albums? Many musicians are good live, but playing in a study requires extra skills. To be a good studio musician you have to learn to do some things that when you play it live do not worry. An error in vivo is lost in the air and nobody else ever heard again. If you commit a recording (and not fix it) is there to be heard again and again. While
fix the errors during recording, you have to find ways to become a better musician and reduce the number of times you're wrong. Time is money and time spent in making mistakes and fixing them costs money.
Playing live, often do not hear when you leave dishes or vibrating string. When you're in a studio there so as not to hear these noises and you have to work to eliminate them from execution, for a better recorded sound. Being a studio musician means be versatile and be able to play in different ways.
But above all, to be a successful studio musician you have to be a good guy. No matter how good you are playing, if you act like an idiot does not make it. Are you one of those who wear uncomfortable at all during a session, then it will spread fast among your colleagues and your phone will stop ringing. When there are many thousands of dollars being played in a session no one wants to give you a chance to someone who probably has a bad attitude. For every great musician of study there are ten guys behind you can do that work and be enjoyable at the same time. "
