I prefer to have a clear 'full' vocal and a clear 'full' guitar to work with

in the mix. I would steer away from recording both at the same time ... but
that is just me talking ... most would probably disagree.

Yah, me for one.

The quintessential timing that happens when one plays a guitar and sings
(provided they can do that, and some can't) is very special.

Put the U 87 in figure of eight. hang it parallel to the floor. Twist it to
null the guitar. Stick a Schoeps CMC641 near the 12th fret and aimed almost
straight down, with the voice on the back of it.

The more you look at the fingerboard while playing and singing, the worse it
is, but this technique works really nicely for me here in this studio. I use
a U 89 instead of a U 87, though.
