    Guitar 'truths" that you believe are myths

    I'm thinking it's a Loar.

    What acoustic guitar recordings, or records that feature acoustic guitar, have what you consider great world class acoustic tone?

    It sounds good. A bit on the brightside, but I'm listening on a cellphone.

    Accoustic treatment help.

    You beat me to asking the same question. The fact that he is unable to "declutter" the room is problematic. An empty room lends itself much better at determining the source of reflections. Square room? Rectangular room? Ceiling height? Every dimension matters. Wall, Floor, and Ceiling...

    Acoustic guitar, gut/nylon strings, standard (not classical) neck profile

    Indeed. Do not purchase a guitar "sight/unseen".

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    I discovered years ago that my dad's old banjo that I had hung on wall within my room was problematic. I removed the strings. End of problem. Didn't even need to search the internet for a solution.

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    Same here 'cept I've also done it at home. Place a single SM57 midway between the cone and edge of either right or left speaker of the amp and record it. It's not exactly rocket science to capture what the mic is actually *hearing/transmitting* to your DAW or standalone recorder provided it that...

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    ? I said "HUGE" tones. I didn't say "PERFECT" tones. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds (if not thousands) of internet articles and videos concerning mic positioning when recording an amp. Reading and watching YouTube videos is simply fine, but the key to successfully recording an amp...

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    For what's worth, IMO, it's possible to record HUGE tones from amplifiers whether or not they are rated at 5 watt or at 100 watt. My recording room is 12' x 24', fully treated with absorbers and bass traps. The largest problem I encountered was the loudness of my amps whenever I recorded...

    Great lyrics and phrasing! ?

    Baxendale Conversions, world class acoustic guitars at prices musicians can afford.

    Nor should they be. The Guilds were good builds.

    Acoustic Guitar Recording 101

    What phase issues? Two mics in front of the guitar and two mics at head level...less than 3 feet apart cause phase issues? If so, my hearing is much worse than I suspected.

    Acoustic Guitar Recording 101

    The amazing thing about this thread is that Whitestrat's recordings are still available to listen to! From a players perspective (not in front of my acoustic guitar) I have on occasion added to the normal two mic approach by adding a third mic and fourth mic slighty above right and left...
