Ever considered getting an actual recording setup going? You can get into it with passable quality for cheap (less than 250 USD) nowadays.
Oh, cool! I didn't know you knew about him dadro
he had a concert in my city last year and I actually managed to have my guitar signed by him
Yeah, I found him around 2-ish years ago, got a bunch of his music on my Walkman.

Well, I dunno if there are shipping fees or availability issues that might pop up, but you can check out these options.

$170. Comes with a Focusrite Solo USB Interface, basic recording software, headphones, a CM25 condenser mic, and XLR cable. You'd need to buy a mic stand for this option.

$260. Change out the Focusrite Solo for a Focusrite 2i2 which will allow for a stereo recording with two mics if you pick up another mic. Same mic and HPs, but also comes with a mic stand and pop filter.

$300. Same Focusrite 2i2, but changes out the one CM25 condenser for a pair of MXL 550 and 551 mics allowing you to record in stereo out of the box. Comes with a second mic stand to accommodate it. No pop filter here, but you're not a vocalist that I'm aware, so it wouldn't affect you.
For reference to sound, here's a few examples. I'm actually quite impressed by what I've seen come out of the MXLs. I might pick up a pair for giggles...
Focusrite Solo with CM25. Done by Focusrite, so be wary of the fact that it is propaganda more or less.

Focusrite 2i2 with CM25. A good review of the overall kit. Demo uses an acoustic guitar for you to compare.

Here's a good showing of the MXL mics on an acoustic guitar. This person uses a different interface, but it's still good nonetheless.
