I saw what I thought was a nice question posted on a violin/fiddle forum and thought I might bring it up here. What has helped improve your playing, and in what areas have you improved? In addition, how have these experiences impacted your playing?
For instance, lessons have helped me grow as an overall musician and playing with musicians better than myself has helped my rhythm. Recording and listening back to my playing has helped with my phrasing, my timing and my tone. Playing along to MP3s has made me faster, but I think I sacrifice some precision and tone.
