I've read over and over again how to record electric guitar, yet I continue to struggle with capturing the sound I am hearing in the room. When I record a track and listen back, it's just missing something tone-wise and more importantly, the sustain just isn't there. I've tried several amps with an SM57 in front in a number of positions on the speaker. I've tried using a condenser a couple feet in front and mixing them together. But it just all feels dead to me.
Figure I might as well put out another call for suggestions to see if anyone was similarly struggling while seemingly doing what the majority of tutorials would say to do, and if you found something that finally worked.
Thanks.
