In order to record guitar in a way that sounds convincing and musical, I tend to record line pickings as opposed to chords—and when I do chords, they're usually captured one at a time. That's just how good my guitar skills are.

Once I have an interesting line, I build upon it with lines that fit harmonically, one at a time, before panning each take hard right, left, and all over the stereo spectrum.

The thick though is to record it at a slow tempo, then speed it up in DAW (in this case I think I used Luna, Universal Audio's DAW). Sprinkle in some slight quantizing and I sound super legit.

There's a hint of early Cure or something in this one, which I quite like.
