Learning to Record

I’ve been spending some time, and money, on learning to record myself playing guitar and even singing. It’s a blast, but there’s a ton to learn just to get up to speed. Currently I’ve got these tools:
iMac 27” 2017
Logic Pro X
Band in a Box 2017
Focusrite Solo (2nd Gen)
Guitars (a variety)
So far I’ll admit I’m just noodling around. Here’s me:

That’s more or a less a riff on Blue Moon. I used Band in a Box to create the backup, drums, piano, bass, and dragged those tracks to Logic Pro. Then I recorded the solo, along the lines of, but not completely in tune with Blue Moon.
I used my Martin 000-15M with a Baggs M80 pickup and tweaked the tone a bit in Logic.
Is it any good? No, not really, but hey, it’s fun. 🙂 And, as I learned from Frank Vignola, listen for the good stuff and build on that. That I don’t hate that recording is a good thing.
Here’s the YT of Frank recently answering my question about recording yourself for practice:
