Recording

I got a Tascam US-122 which connects to your computer using a simple USB cable and allows 2 analog inputs (Guitar/Mic), has Phantom power (for condenser mics), and 16 channels of Midi. It is inexpensive and comes with some basic software that will allow you to plug in and record your electric guitar within 15 minutes.

For me it was perfect because I wanted to listen to my playing objectively to see how I was progressing, and focus on improving particular things that I could notice by listening to myself. I was unsure whether I would be "into" recording so I didn't want to invest heavily. I was able to borrow/purchase a used unit from a friend so it was a pretty easy thing for me to try then buy.

You can get them for $200 at Musiciansfriend or on ebay.
