Awesome stuff. Satriani’s legato is always humbling, because the hand strength needed for a lot of his finger stretching shit is tough to come by. Seems to take years of doing it constantly to just be able to do it at leisure.

Quick question for anybody who’s savvy with recording straight to a laptop/PC with a focusrite or something of the likes. What am I required to have to get decent recording sounds? I’m aware it comes with a USB, but do I needed to mic my own amp if I want a good sound? Considering if I don’t, would the default sound be shit and void of tone customization?
