No actually. Scooping the mids would be good because it will leave more room for your snare, toms, and bass guitar.
You don't wanna do it too much because it can make your guitar sound too thin and it will be hard to distinqish rhythm. How much you scoop would be a preference of style but I know Metal bands like Death do scoop their mids on recording, usually around 3-5. If you want a bold heavy sound you need to leave alittle in there. ;) Go for the sound you use when practicing, and see how it works out when you put the other instruments in. Recording is a learn as you go process.
