GibsonLPSG, good luck to you. Lots of good recommendations made. I don't know anything about any of them aother than what I mentioned. My (first) guess is that for the beginning recording stages of learning any one of the recommendations will serve you well. My second guess is that anyone making recommendations above knows far more about recording than I.

But should you go with Scarlett one thing to watch is the numbering system. I went with, as I said, the 2i2, which means 2 inputs and 2 outputs. The Scarlett Solo just has one of each. Theoptions are up to a ridiculous number, 18 or 20?!

If you think you are ever going to sing along with your playing then get at least 2 in and 2 out, one each for your guitar and your microphone. And then send them to separate tracks to your DAW.

I will never record myself singing. But I got 2 in and 2 out for the unlikely possibility one of my jam buddies may ever come by and we would record. Of course, that never happened.
