Hi Devanny,
Yes, it can be distracting (especially when the tune has a lot of difficulties), i agree, but i prefer myself to have them on the performance video because it helps when i play alone with the backing track.
I have rhythmic issues and i’m not fully autonomous : so when i play with the backtrack, it can be helpful for me to go listening again the performance video with the guitar so i can hear and understand the articlulations, and then play alone with the back track.
But then again, it’s just that i’m not autonomous when it’s about rhythm, so i can understand that it can be a distraction for others.
Plus, i play alone at my place most of the time so i find that nice to have people who play “with me” : it gives me the habit to pay attention to others and not being totally focus on me and my playing.
I guess it’s all the complexity when people have different levels and work habits : we don’t have the same process and some of us have “tricks”… 😉
Kind regards,
Sabrina
