This video covers the full process of setting up and recording electric guitar with audio interface into a computer. Guitar recording on a computer is really flexible and fun and it only takes a little practice to get a hang of it. I'm using the Scarlett 2i2 ( https://www.zzounds.com/a--3970767/it... ) audio interface to plug my Fender Stratocaster directly into so I can record into the computer.
