+1, but my guess is that a guitarist will record those parts by other
means (so probably through effects + amp). There are a lot of bedroom
producers around these days, it's almost like the next big thing. The
guitarists among those don't always have the time or the facilities to
record guitars the analogue way.
Amp modeling is really big (using Amplitube, Line 6 hardware or even
guitarix), you can get pretty good sounds out of that. Amp modeling
played through a tube amp and miked gives you the best of both
worlds... more control over your tone and the warm tube-y sound.
