Yesterday I recorded a Sister Hazel version using only one acoustic guitar track and vocals. I know that a condenser mic would be the best choice here, but the only mics I own are SM57 and SM58, so I just put the SM57 around the 12th fret, facing the guitar hole. Is there any good advice to improve it or it´s just a gear limitation?
The results are far from great, but the track that I got direct from the piezo pickup was much worse. Is there any technique to get a good tone from the piezo? It seems that recording an acoustic guitar without mics is a big "don´t".
