To the points about recording practice and not stopping when mistakes are made, I totally agree with both points.

I generally use both of my electric guitars and my acoustic in my songs, plus now I have the added dimension of the bass. I'll record the parts I intend to use those different instruments for and use those for working on the tone I want. I can start tweaking the tone even though I know I'm not going to use the track itself in the finished product.

As far as stopping when I get something wrong, I always play everything all the way through. Sometimes I stop when I keep making the same mistake at the same part, but that's more a matter of frustration. One of those GD'it moments.
