How do you all capture the sound of an electric guitar?

Plugins? Mic’d amp? I use a plugin called Bias Amp 2 for all amp and cab simulations which I quite like (although seems to sound nicer with my tele than Les Paul). I’ve also heard really good things about a plugin called amplitube but don’t have any experience with it.. What do other people use?

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
