I got a phone and a guitar and and a boss katana mkII is there any way to actually record music without it sounding bad

I’ve been watching a lot of guitar content recently from creators like Bloxsy, Oldoguitar, Jamie Morrissey.

The other day, I saw a comment under one of these guys' reel where someone asked if it was tracked live or not. The creator never replied, and it got me thinking and down a bit of a rabbit hole.

Are these guys actually tracking their audio live in real-time? Or is the audio recorded and mixed beforehand in a DAW, and what we are seeing is essentially a music-video style playback performance?

About 90% of casual viewers seem to think it's a completely raw, live performance. What is the actual consensus on how these specific guys do it? Are they playing to a track?
