It's great for expanding vocabulary and the improving the ability to play what is in your head without having to think too hard! So good for advancing intellectual and physical muscle memory. I'm a fan of Justin but not so much his taste in music so perhaps it would be good to try some different tunes? It's meant to be fun right?!
Do you think the benefits are just as good even if the position I play the note turns out to be different to the record?
That's kind of what put me off, thinking that it might not be giving me the benefit of learning from that player when I'm not playing it the same way.
Live clips are really helpful - you can see where it was originally played. You can also see if a capo was used.
Also be aware of alternate tunings. e.g. Kashmir - piece of piss to play once you realise the tuning used.

So in answer, it's about the music more than the technique for me
So I googled and found I wasn't actually playing in the key of the song but when I tried using the key from the sheet music it sounded wrong.
I found the original record and that was in the key on the sheet but the live version was in the key I thought it was, dunno why they'd change it for live.
Also, I've noticed a lot of Beatles recordings, so possibly other stuff from that time, can sound half way between two notes, or even a whole note off, due to the tape being played back at a different speed.
Also with the pitch of the recording sounding like its out I've noticed a few tunes are in 432Hz. Or Don't Look Back In Anger in 455hz! Always wondered why my guitar always sounded out against the recording!
