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.

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.

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
@BillKurzeja
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.
@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!
@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!
@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.

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.
@Aohoid
I was on my way to my home studio to record acoustic guitar and saw you posted this video. The timing couldn't have been better. Wonderful video as always!
@wesleyhendricks153
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.😊
@aleksandrkrivets
Great, I wanna buy Lewitt LCT 240 Pro... Sounds fantastic!!! Well done
@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.
@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!
@Millo1868
Wow! That shirt! It's making you go back and forth between dimensions!
@simonquigley9054
Really pleased you used an Aspen Pittman, I've been using a pair of those for the last couple of years. A lot of the guys I have recorded using them have been very pleased with results.
@slamcrank
There's an old Tape Op interview with The Shins about their first record... they used the SM57's on drums, but everything else was the Rode NT1. They recorded it onto a PC using "Cool Edit Pro" (hah! Remember that program?!) ... they used the Roland VS-840 to record the drums, but then "mixed" them back into the PC's "Cool Edit Pro". Home recording has come a long way since the early 2000's.
@deanh6979
That 'BBC' mic position is killer! Thanks for the tip, Warren!
@McMillanScottish
One microphone tip I think was overlooked relates to players who can’t sit still, causing phase changes throughout the track. As a solution, I bought a K & K condenser mic that clamps (gently) to the body of the guitar, and has a little gooseneck that hangs a condenser mic wherever you choose to put it. I can’t tell you how much I love this feature. Worth trying, especially because it also sounds pretty good. Note: if you do try it, you may want to put a couple of pieces of that foam that they include in the box between the clamps and the guitar, because there is a little bit of transfer of vibration, and that solves it.
