Here's a tip: Experiment. It's not gonna cost anything.

How are you getting the sound into your computer? In other words, what is your soundcard/interface?

The sort of classic starting point, assuming you have a soundcard and a preamp, is to mic up the amp with your Shure mic. Move around the mic when someone is playing to find the sweet spot... lots of folks like to mic the side of the cone, but YMMV.
