Electric Guitars

Hey All.
My last guitar purchase was an Ibanez RG prestige, which has left me struggling to afford a really good amp any time soon.
I have an awesome PC setup though, and I'm basically looking at how to get the best possible tone using plugins.
I've been recording with Guitar Rig, which is a great program, but I'm only getting OK results, nothing special.

Heavy electric guitars, need advice.

I've been recording a lot of stuff lately just to get the hang of it. I'm basically building my songs, orchestrating them if you like. I'm gonna re-record everything once everything is finished, good guitar sound is not something I'm after right now. Besides there's lots of advice on the forums just for that. Now I have this little question for you guys.

Any tips for mixing electric guitars?

Here's what I do - I don't have an amp so I record directly:
DigiTech MultiFx - AudioInterface - Vst cab sims/amp modellers

I usually record 2 seperate tracks for the same rhythm part and run them thru different cab sims, then EQ them differently and pan hard left and right - it gives me this great stereo effect with a place in a middle for drums and bass.

Mic technique for recording electric guitars

Hi I'm new in this forum and I wanted to know if you can seek advice a good mic technique for electric guitars so much clean as distorted.
I should record a guitarist (I am used Steve Vai) and I would like you to advise me that mics to use for the recording (1 or 2 mics) and that mics position should use.
Also some mix tricks for the guitars
