Excellent point, right on there. I recently read that Gilmour recorded the Another Brick in the Wall solo straight into the board, and back then that was unheard of. Now you can get used to it and do some amazing effects on your track, re-amp it if you want. But it's the imagination required and the faith of the guitarist that's hard to come by!The major difference with this method is that I have to listen to my guitar being played clean while I track to the playback. I've had some other guitarists find it really strange, and at times difficult, but I've been doing it so much that I'm completely used to it and can do a good job of translating in my head of how a it will sound coming out the other end - for things like pinch harmonics, etc.
