So much better than the Rick Beato video on the same subject. He was using mics whose price points were way beyond what most home studio hobbyists would be comfortable with.

This video made be buy my dt1. After a week, I'm about to take advantage of the holiday "call in for savings" and order my second. Your genuine reaction to it was all the convincing I needed, and that judgement was sound.

This is the best acoustic guitar video that I ever watched in my life. First half of the video sitting on the edge of my seat. Midway had a smile on my face from ear to ear. Warren, you are the best!!! Thanks for sharing your skills.😊

Hi Friends, one of my first videos on YouTube was called "Recording Acoustic Guitar," and ever since then I frequently get asked to talk in more detail about recording acoustic guitar. In today’s video, we’re going to be a lot more thorough than we were in that first video! We’re also going to go through a bunch of different mics, as well as micing techniques. To keep this as simple as possible, we’re only going to be using an Audient iD4, my trusty Yamaha LL16 acoustic guitar, and a few different mics. No compression. No EQ. Just straight into the DAW! This is a great real world example that you can recreate in your own studio!

22:41 “The moment I realized; YEP this is the choice for me” Wow what a sound. Great GREAT microphone
@a1guitarmaker
I once traded picks with Mickey Moody. Mine was a 2.0mm, the dark purple Dunlop. He was using 1.14mm which eventually became my sort of standard pick. I still use the 2.0mm for darker tones. For bass I like the yellow Dunlop whatever that is. For strumming on the acoustic I like the .73mm. I have a little pick holder on my key chain that my daughter gave me for Father's day. In it I keep one each of those 4 picks, so I never leave home without them.

Tnx Warren. Your a great teacher. And fun to watch. Even for this elderly guy that has been playing and recording for over 35 years now.
@Jbone4681
I was wondering if I really needed to watch a 42 min video to figure out how to mic my acoustic but by the end I wish it went longer. Fantastic video! Hell of a guitar player too!
@thewhiskeycowboy-official
I love that this shows that even affordable mics do fantastic jobs. And you show only ONE mic being used at a time. Two have their advantages, but using one can still be fine. But on another note (no pun intended... ok, a little pun), I am not sure if others noticed this; how the mic worked seemed to influence how you played. Different mics had different strengths and you slid into what the mic seemed to "do" better when you played. I find I do the same thing depending on what guitar I am using, what pick (or not), and even with the electric what settings I am going with. My playing changes and I slide into the "mix" for what it is. I may have in mind to play one thing, but end up playing something else. Great video. Cheers.
@Greenmantislives
One of the best examples of acoustic guitar tracking I have seen. The repetitive nature of using the same techniques, regardless of mic really helped to solidify the concept. Great approach for future videos I think. Great job Warren!
@mikesmith1290
I'm so glad your using the same stuff the rest of us can afford. Most others demo gear that is waaay beyond our grasp. That Aspen mic sounds amazing!
@smokeynewport1591
yet another extremely informative video! You demoed all kinds of low cost mics while packing in recording techniques all throughout. Thank you so much Warren. Just saw the news about the studio move. Can't wait to follow the journey along with you. Much love to you and your family.
@billyhughes9776
Great video Warren. The Lewitt LCT-240 and the Aspen Pittman sounded great. Roswell and good ole 57 great as well. Actually,...listening some more,.....the Roswell is really impressive.
@jessegoplen
Already this is the greatest video on this topic I've ever seen, learned so much, and I'm only halfway through. Definitely have to get a 57. Thanks a million for sharing your wisdom, and cheers from Dick Wagner's hometown, Oelwein, Iowa, great to see his book there on display!
@aleksandrkrivets
Great, I wanna buy Lewitt LCT 240 Pro... Sounds fantastic!!! Well done
@ryKirwan1
One of my favorite things to record is an acoustic guitar. I believe this is one of the best, and most thorough videos I’ve ever seen on the subject. Thanks again Warren. Right on 🎸🎤🎼
@DatAnydex
I was rethinking this subject the past couple days! Good timing, and thanks Warren!
@deanh6979
That 'BBC' mic position is killer! Thanks for the tip, Warren!
@oldfox51
Such a useful video thanks! Bought the LCT 240..what a bargain! As good as other mics I have that cost 3 times more. I paired it with a small condenser and at last getting a good recorded sound from my Martin.
