My hair once got caught under my fingers on the fretboard and I bended the note and my hair. Sucked. |

| | | | I don't but if it's your thing, then go for it.
Unless you've got a lot of time (aka money in recording studio speak), and/or experience then I'd record EXACTLY the same way as you normally play. Don't change anything cause you're "in the studio" - it'll just mess things up. Go in, and do whatever has worked for you every other time you've played the tracks...

I rock like a crazy person and walk around constantly making faces unintentionally. And later I am made fun of for it  . |

If I don't do it, I always mess up and end up sounding less natural and with less groove than if I dig in.
