Webcams are definitely not ideal for this sort of thing. And for sound quality, it really depends on what type of guitar sound you're going for... for heavier more distorted stuff it can sometimes be best to use a DI box and just use an amp sim on the pc... Or mike your amp and use a DI box. Or, just use a regular mic plugged into your soundcard, which is what most people do. Poor quality sound but better than nothing.
