You need an interface. I use the Focusrite 2i2 which costs about $100.
After that, it's stuff you probably already have, a computer, some guitar cables and an amp or headphones.
It may even be possible to use the computer's mic and skip the 2i2. Sound quality won't be great, but we're just talking about visualizing a wave form.
Figure about 3 hours to learn enough about how to use it. Maybe less.
Don't tell a true recording enthusiast what you're doing (eg monitoring with a guitar amp) or his/her head might explode.

Jeff, that take sounds like it's straight off a Blue Note Album. That feel, whew!
John, I like the fusion tone. Nice outside lines and liked the way way you explained your approach!
Tommo, that slide on jazz thing is very nice. So unique!
Ragman, you're making those changes so easily and smoothly.
Triplejazz, I like how you're really going for it. Doesn't sound like you're playing safe and I dig it!
Rp, just great phrasing! Love that guitar and that octave effect. I've been using the latter quite a bit lately!
Peter, nice rockin' out. Powerful!
Great jam tune!

Trying to get a good enough take has reaquainted me with some of my weaknesses, thereby pushing me to address them.
Generally, recording is a good idea, because I find that what I think I sound like and what I actually sound like aren't the same.

I just noticed by the way in my first (very raucous) clip, there was a real moment of improvisation at 2'15 when I knocked down the switch to pos. 1. I don't recall ever playing a similar riff. Doesn't sound at all bad (if you like that kind of thing, of course) although I unfortunately cocked it up 15 secs later. That's the middle pickup, by the way, which is wired sans tone pot. It's true that you can play notes from the Fm blues scale over this, but not all of them! I should have avoided playing Ab (Fm iii) over Dm7.
I hadn't (consciously) heard SRV until well into the 90s and had consolidated my rock technique many years before that. Listened to a lot of Hendrix, not so much Trower.

I didn't like the available backing tracks much, so I did a funky 70s version with BIAB. Also used a guitar from the 70s, my Ibanez Artist.

Thanks Ron!

Re. Lawson’s clip, I hear nothing wrong with it, I don’t think he turned the beat around. Plenty of the chord tones and strong accents align with the beat, sounds like he knew where he was to me.
Sure, a lot of his phrases start after beat 1, but so do lots of mine. Starting every phrase on beat 1 is rhythmically uninteresting!
