Recording acoustic guitar techniques

This has probably been posted already but I stumbled on it last night in another forum. This is a very good article explaining different approaches to recording the acoustic and even has pictures and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what... oh, never mind.

Excellent, thanks. Nice acoustic guitar sounds are my main obsession.

There's a lot of great advice on this forum for recording acoustic guitars. But the pictures there are invaluable and maybe will make some things a bit clearer to people who are having trouble grasping some of the concepts. I just thought it would help. And it just helps to reinforce some of the things that Blue Bear, Massive Mastering and a host of others have said. Kind of like a teacher drawing on a blackboard. I know illustrations certainly help me! When they mentioned X-Y, etc., I had no idea what they were talking about!

Kevin, do you have any clips to share...

Here's some of a friend...

These were recorded using two e22S SDCs both 15" one pointed at the 14th fret and one over the shoulder pointed at the bridge...

Very timely for me too. I just got my mixer and even recording with one mic it has substantially improved my tone. Now I can pout the stereo thing into practice!
