Beginner’s Guide to Recording Flamenco and Classical Guitar - An Extremely Non-Technical Discussion

Do you want to learn how to record yourself playing guitar? Having recorded more than 1500 guitar videos, I thought I’d share some of the stuff I’ve learned over the years about how to record nylon string guitars. The first section deals with what to think about when recording in mono (one microphone), and the second half of the video looks at some relatively simple stereo techniques (two microphones) including XY, spaced pair, and AB.

Huge thanks to the folks at Soyuz Microphones for providing some truly kick-ass mics.
