Meir (Satriani on here) always suggests that you practise in front of a mirror as it makes it easier to see what you're doing wrong. And the few times I've tried it, I've picked up on little things that are impossible to notice otherwise! So I'd say it's sound advice. Scuse the pun ?

I was in a music shop in Manchester once and they had booths where you could try out guitars. Each booth had a full Marshall stack on the one side (not on) and a full-size mirror on the other side so that you could see yourself with the axe you're trying out in front of a massive stack. It was awesome! I bet that makes them sell twice as many guitars as they would without it.
