Your guitar is sending audio into your audio
interface, and that audio needs to be recorded on a track.
If you want that guitar to sound like it is
running through an amplifier, speaker cabinet,
microphone in front of the speaker cabinet etc.
you'll need an effect plugin that simulates those
parts of the chain. Your electric guitar's
signal, on its own, naked so-to-speak, will sound
totally clean, perhaps uninspiring. That's just
what your guitar sounds like, before going
through any more equipment like effects or amplifiers.

All,
I’ve been experimenting with recording my
acoustic guitar into ProTools and, I bet you
don’t need me to tell you, but it’s a blast.
I haven’t been having as much luck with my electric guitar, though.
I have an audio interface, but when I plug in my
guitar and set the switch to instrument, I
don’t get any sound. So I’m sure it’s a
problem on the ProTools side. So, a few questions:
To record my electric guitar in this fashion,
should I create an audio track, an instrument
track, or a midi track? So far, when I try an instrument track, I get no audio.
I have a few instruments that came as free
downloads with PT. Does this apply to electric
guitar, or do I have to use a midi controller to
be able to use these sounds? Does this question make sense?
Anyway, there’s a lot to unpack here, so if
anyone cares to mail me off list, please feel
free to do so at the address in my signature line.
My very best,
