How to record guitar

When it comes to recording guitar direct, I think musicians are divided. Some love the tone of an amp and microphone instead of a direct signal. I can't argue with that, mainly because you capture so much more sound. The trade off is signal quality with a direct signal being easier to manage. By going direct you will not have any room noise that a microphone would normally capture. However, the trade-off tends to be a thinner sound that may take a little time to bring to life. There is no wrong or right when it comes to these two different recording techniques, it's just personal prefference. Hope to see you soon in the studio.
