I was hoping someone would mention that...

the playing is fine. The guitar sounds great to the ear.
Again, the problem is, no matter what configuration i try, i need to
pout the mics withing 6 inches of the guitar otherwise it sounds bad.
So i think i'm missing some of the 'sound?' of the whole guitar, as it
would sound if you sat a few feet in front of it.


When I record solo guitar I like to have the mic pair 3' - 5' away.
