How to Install VST Plugins (Complete Guide for Guitar Players)

Welcome to my complete guide on how to install VST plugins like virtual amps and effects.

I'm actually downloading a virtual amp for the first time that I've never played through, so this is a true 'beginning to end' tutorial. I also show you how to avoid some of the frustrations with downloading and installing VST plugins.

This tutorial is for 2 types of musicians:

1 - Beginner guitar players who are jumping right into the modern way to recording guitar

2 - Seasoned and experienced guitarists who are making the leap to recording with virtual amps, effects, and VST plugins.
