Ditto on the USB interface. Doesn't matter too much what brand, although I do use a Focusrite myself. You can plug the guitar into it directly using a modeler or use a real amp and a mic. Either works well.


DO NOT buy one of those USB cord things for guitar. They are horrible and present other issues due to the codecs they use vs using ASIO drivers. You WANT to have an interface that uses ASIO.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
