i personally am recording stuff in studio on a regular basis for various bands and artists. i still remember my first studio experience. i came in, sat down with the guitar and the dude said: "lets start!"
he played a song consisting of drums, vocals, bass and keyboards and said: "now you play something with the guitar - we need a rythm part here and here, and maybe a small solo here - go ahead". i was like "WTF??? ive never heard this song before - what shall i play?" (didnt say that - only thought it)
so i had to come up with more or less a whole song spontaneously, which was everything but easy.
that was a while back - now i´m doing that sort of thing on a regular basis and i´ve become quite good at it - so i consider myself a studio musician. this kind of work has heped me alot and imroved my ability to play and improvise, no matter what sort of style that song might be.
